Just to cover all the bases (even the unlikely ones), this guy here has a similar problem (cpu fans spinning, gpu isn't. gpu works in another unit, everything else checks out):
tomshardware.com/forum/358981-33-spinning
...and it turns out the culprit was an improperly seated motherboard screw that was causing a short circuit (I assume everytime he installs the card, it pushed the motherboard in a certain way that causes the screw to make contact with something it shouldn't.)

that link didn't work for me... but it's an interesting thought. What's so frustrating is that I had it working Wed night only to have it just go black screen on me in the middle of a game Thurs night.
