Do you see any red lights on your mobo? This link will walk you thru the steps to try to figure out what is wrong. You may have already done many of them but double check just to make sure that something that may have worked yesterday is not working today. Post back when you have gone through the list and we can go from there. What are the rest of your system specs?

I think it really is my graphics card. The fan is working so I know the power supply is working. Doesn't that mean that the card is broken?
If it is my card, what would you suggest to replace my current one? I only do light video editing, basic Photoshop, videos and world of war craft. Done

If your graphics are acceptable with the current series of card then there isn't much reason to spend more money than necessary. Short of testing the card and PSU in another system such as family or friend, there really isn't an easy way to tell unless you know how to check for the proper voltages coming from your PSU.
If the fans are spinning on your video card then you could try with a PSU first. Return it for a new card if the PSU doesn't fix it and you have a store close by . Though it isn't the preferred method, it may be the best option in your situation.
