Monitor no signal: PCI-E slot bad or problem with card?

[TJCOMBO]

I own an ArcadeVGA3000 and a tri-sync monitor.  When I built the computer, installed the card, hooked it up to the monitor and installed the drivers, everything worked out just fine.  About a month after, I received no signal from my tri-sync monitor.  I did a clean install in Win 7 and still same problem.  The monitor works fine in 640x480 when I hook it up to the onboard graphics card.  The fan spins on the ArcadeVGA in the PCI-E slot.  I am concerned that the PCI-E slot has gone bad and I have limited experience with this.  Is there a way to tell if the slot is bad before I do anything else?

try another pci-e card and see if you can display to a pc monitor. Or try the card in another machine,  Personally I would try the card in another machine and see what happens.  If nothing happens its the card, if it works then its probably the slot.  But to be honest I have never seen a PCI-e slot failure yet.  Lots of video card failures though.
