I have a Nvidia 6600GT when I was just browsing the web my pc screen just went blank. So I turned off my pc and looked at my video card didn't smell anything burning and my card fan came on. So I tried an older card and everything worked fine. So I just don't know what it is.

What is your power supply ? For a 6600GT, you need at least 300W with 16 or more Amps on the +12V rail.
