Sounds more like a bad power supply. You need to troubleshoot more, don't just randomly replace parts.

Having no video is frequently merely a symptom and doesn't necessarily indicate there is anything wrong with your video hardware.
If you have not been fiddling inside your case changing connections or components just before this first happened, the most likely thiing is your power supply is failing, or has failed completely.
Failing power supplies are common and can cause your symptoms. Check your PS. They often partially work, fans and hard drives spin, leds come on, yet you get no video and the mboard will not boot all the way. See response 4 in this: http://www.computing.net/hardware/w...
