Fan stopped working

Hi all,
My fan stopped working on my computer, which when it happened I got a blue screen with F options.
I turned it off and have replaced the fan which now works but I have a dead computer. There obviously is power getting to it but I suspect this means my graphics card is shot as well, as I am getting no screen?!
Its an old machine and runs on Vista so I do not want to spend money on it. The fan was cheap enough but if this does sound like graphics card and I am not a techy by any standards I'll just dump it.
I suppose there is no way of once the hard drive is out getting the drive hooked up to another computer or something?
 
Most likely the cpu has overheated and is now shot or something is up with the motherboard. Will have to do some diagnosing to find out. Or better yet, trash it and get something better.
