Does the motherboard have on-board graphics? If it does, try plugging the cable into the on-board graphics connector and see if anything changes. If not, then the graphics controller or PCI-E/PCI/AGP (whichever slot you're using) might be defective. Try a different slot. Even though you tried different GC (Graphics Cards), if a slot is defective, nothing will change.

It could also be that the cards aren't getting enough power to run. They might have a power connector for the PSU. You can tell if it does or not by looking for a power connector on the card. If it has one, you MUST connect it to the PSU, but the PSU has to have enough power to power it.
