e-GeForce FX 5200 PCI Video Card Not Working

My e-GeForce FX 5200 128mb PCI DVI video card suddenly stopped working. Over the past few months I noticed that the fan on the video card was spinning eratically. Now it does not spin at all. I can buy an aftermarket video card fan for aprox $10 or a FX-6200 256mb PCI DVI card for aprox $60. Will the aftermarket video card fan resolve the problem or is it probable that the video card is toast? I already switched PCI slots to test the card. My sound card in another PCI slot works fine. Currently, I am using an analog CRT monitor connected to the on-board video port. This is an older motherboard with only PCI slots.
