When my graphics card (an ASUS GT 640) is in my computer, it will not finish POST, but when it is removed, the computer will start up normally. I suspect that this may have happened because of a power supply failure, which appeared to have damaged several other components as well (they've been replaced), and I would like to know if it is definitely the graphics card's fault or if it could be the motherboard's fault. Here is some more information about the computer:

Motherboard - ASUS P8Z77-V LX LGA 1155 Intel Z77 (atx form factor)
Processor - Intel Xeon Quad-Core E3-1220V2, speed-3.1GHz, socket-LGA1155
Memory - 2x Crucial Ballistix Sport DDR3 1600 MT/s UDIMM 240-Pin
Hard Drive - WD Blue 1 TB Desktop Hard Drive: 3.5 Inch, 7200 RPM, SATA 6 Gb/s, 64 MB Cache
Graphics Card - ASUS GT640 2GB DDR3
Power Supply - EVGA 430W 80PLUS Certified ATX12V/EPS12V

Thanks for any help
