Both video cards go bad at once?

have an XPS 600 with Dual nVidia 6800 video cards.  Last night it just shut down on it's own.
 
Neither cards show up in the BIOS as a VGA device and the video won't show.
A standard vid card in a PCI slot works fine.
 
Using either of the 6800 cards in the PCIe slots won't show up or work either.
 
What are the chances both cards fried at once, or would you think it's the mobo?
 
There are no beep codes on boot
 
Thanks

    Try the video cards in another system, that would be the definitive answer. Also, it wouldn't hurt to flash your BIOS to the latest version. If a seperate video card works in this system without any problems, then the mobo should be fine.
