I think my 9600GT is broken

Ok here's my problem.

I've had an inno3d 9600gt armor edition for about a year now, and a couple of weeks ago, I had to send my new motherboard, a msi 770t-c45, in for an rma, and I had to switch to my old pcchips mobo. When I switched evertything to the pcchips, I turned it on, and the monitor stayed in sleep mode. It's happened to me before, so I unplugged the video card, reset it, the memory, and changed the bios to load from the pcix like I have in the past, and it still stayed in sleep mode.

The thing is, when it boots up, I can hear it loading into windows and everything. The monitor is just in sleep mode. I know it's not the monitor, because it loads right up from the onboard video.

Now I think it might be my video card, but could it also be the vga to dvi converter? I have an old crt monitor that only has vga, but my card only has dvi input.
