The other night, like any night I was on my computer playing a game. The game froze, I Ctrl+alt+dlt to close out and it is just comoletly frozen. I force shut down by holding the power button. Now whenever I start it up I don't get any picture on my screen and I can't hold the button to turn it off either. Is this a sign of a graphics card going bad?

If you have any other ideas that could help in possibly debunking the graphics card as the issue.

Yes, graphic card may have gone bad. Try booting in safe mode to see if it's because of drivers gone bad.

Why would a graphics card go bad? Overheated?

That's one of most common causes, some run very hot anyway and don't need much to overheat. There are also other causes. like cold solder joints. stopped ventilators etc. Pulling them out or installing with MB still under voltage (not disconnected from power) can kill them in a hurry too.
