Motherboard possibly fried

Someone on another forum suggested the CPU might be the problem. I looked at it, and there are no burn marks, none of the pins appear to be bent. Nothing seems to be wrong with it on the exterior. I sent an e-mail to Gigabyte, but the response I got was a troubleshooting guide for "System powers...

Motherboard possibly fried

Like I said, I'm fairly certain it's not a power supply problem, considering it powered up my computer just fine.

So I've got a 9600XT AIW. The two VGA plugs on the output adapter are shot so I'm using the TV-Out one (6600gt on the way). Unfortunately the quality on the TV-Out isn't great and I can't read any smaller fonts (using magnifier). I've tried my average 24-26" TV and a big screen, but everything...
