A8N SLI Deluxe, "System failed VGA test"

Hello, this is my system:

A8N SLI Deluxe motherboard
Athlon 3500+, Winchester Core, Zalman CNPS7000B-AlCu cooler
2 * 512MB Corsair ValueSelect RAM DDR 400
Gigabyte GV-NX66T128VP 128 MB Graphics Card (NVIDIA 6600GT, Passive cooled )
Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 10, 300 GB
Arctic Silentium T2 Case (VERY silent, with 4 coolers within) with Seasonic PSU of 350 W continuous, 450 W Peak. Should be good enough following ASUS' recommendations and my configuration (less than light).

This configuration performed very well and stable for a week. But then overnight, when I tried to turn on the PC I got the following message through my speakers: "System failed VGA test", no screen at all

Things I've tried:

Get the VGA card out and back in, no solution.
Replace VGA card with another one, no solution. The original VGA card functions very well on another motherboard with PCI-Express, so it's not the VGA-card.
Clear CMOS, no solution.
Connect EZ_Plug next to graphics, no solution.
EZ_connector is on Single.

This really puzzles me. How come my graphics suddenly doesn't get recognized allthough it was OK for a week, without problems.

I'm really looking forward for any options and/or suggestions, because I would very much so like to get started with my new PC-config and hope that I don't have to RMA.

These were some suggestions on PC Perspective: http://forums.pcper.com/showthread.php?t=385889

Best regards and thanx already for your answers.
