There's a cheap way of checking the video card, i have done it 5 times in my life. Go to your friends place and say you are "upgrading" his PC ;) take the video card and say that its faulty and you will fix it at your house.
In (seriousness?), if it doesn't have an onboard VGA slot, then im afraid you will need to get a different video card, which is pain if it wasnt the problem. Or, if you have sounds, you can hear if the OS has loaded since in windows, linux or mac, there is always some start-up sound. Though it could also maybe not be video card but the slot, sounds like video card though, or just RAM.

I managed to fix it today. It turns out that it wasn't the video card and I just had to reset the BIOS. Thanks to you Aleios for your help.

It's relieving to hear :) paying out for a new graphics card would suck.
