You can never say this with certainty from a distance, especially with no information about the computer at all, but let me cite Dr. "Bones" McCoy: "It's dead, Jim". (Either the card or some stuff around it)

Do you have the little case speaker connected? Then you should hear a sequence of beep signals from your motherboard, telling you what goes wrong. 1x long and 2x short would indicate "video problem".
I'm puzzled by this:
I never saw a PCI-e 9600, only AGP - and there's only one AGP slot. Or do you have a rare model for the old PCI bus?
