Video card troubles

I had recent problems with my computer and it resulted in me having to send in for a new processor, but i got the new processor and installed it only to find that i had no display from my Video card. In the final moments before my computer "broke" little boxes popped up everywhere when i was playing any games, then while i was playing, my computer did a hard shut down and the motherboard gave me five beeps instead of the "A-ok" one beep. So now when i start up with my new processor it still gives me five beeps, but it starts up with no display, yet i can hear the windows sounds of booting up and my G15 keyboard shows the time and date meaning that i am at my desktop.

So i was just wondering if my video card was in fact fried.

Your story seems to say so. I would (if i could) try another card in yours, then try your card in another PC.
 
Time to make the doughnuts or simply try upgrading the bios before assuming anything "Repeating Short Beeps = No Power, Loose Card, or Short." for Award bios. http://www.computerhope.com/beep.htm#05 You could try reseating the card after using a can of air cleaner to blow out any dust and dirt clogging the slot.
