  1. You can only tell If the graphics card was damaged by trying the card in a different PC or fitting a new graphics card in place of the existing one.

    To avoid damage by a power surge to PC components you should have your PC plugged into a surge-protector socket. You can buy a surge-protector that comes as a strip of sockets, the most popular brand being Belkin. They make various models depending on how many sockets you want. Some are upright ones which take up less floor-space, or flat horizontal ones with four or six sockets. Depends on how much you want to pay.
