Graphics card failed to send initilization signal.
Happens a lot with cheap graphics cards / onboard ones.

Have you tried using the onboard video hardware with the monitors? (or is that what you where using)

If you can open the case without voiding warrenty, open it and take a gander inside. If the graphics card has no fan, chances are that if you're playing games a lot, it probably got a little hot in there, and it's damaged the card in some way...
If the monitor light stays on (not blinking), that means it's detected a connection, which means the graphics card has power. If, however, it fails to initilize, I think perhaps the GPU has had it's day (you mentioned before it was nothing top-dog).
