Bob,
OK, ignore my previous reply. How is it that you both have the same mother
board, did you both build your computers together? I guess they ran for
awhile and then 'died'. In this case either the mother boards or the video
cards could be from the same batch and maybe it was a bad run and thus
failed. Do the boards have on board vdeo too. If so there will be a monitor
output on the board. You could try switching to on board video to confirm
that the problem is the video card. Another approach that might take some
persuasion is to try the video card on another computer. And of course it
would take a bit of configuring.

What about POST beeps, did you get any of those? Since you didn't mention
any I assume that you didn't get any. This sounds like a more serious
problem than a video card. If you did build your computers the problem COULD
be the CPU's. Try removing them and reinserting them, just in case they were
not inserted properly, another unlikely possibility. The list of other
causes is probably quite long. Maybe if you took one computer to the repair
shop and they found the problem you could apply what they found to the other
'puter. :-) I can't think of anything else.
