well i have two monitor both hooked up and they both quit and my friend made the computer about 3-4 years ago if that helps any
 
If BOTH monitors quit at the same time then you can exclude the monitors and their cables.

The first step is to swap to a different video card. You can buy an HD6450 for $30 if you don't have a spare. If you have onboard video you can try that.

It could also be the PSU or motherboard but it's most likely the video card.

Had u tried cleaning the comp from the dust.... see if it helps?

it do sound like the card....
but i would try check the PSU first, try check the voltage in bios or use apps hwmonitor to see the voltage value when it works at 100% something like prime95 and kombustor/heaven at same time...
