well that is odd unless by some chance your one died from a static shock when you were moving the card between the PCs. It could have been caused by your sons mobo or psu.

Your best bet is to just RMA them and also try and find some crapy card and plug it into your PC just to make sure it's not your mobo then try your sons pc and if that doesn't work try it again in your pc. If that card then goes duff you know something is up with his pc.

I had something similar with my 6600gt and my dad's pc, much older card but Have you tried turning the power supply off and on again?

I think it was something to do with the power to the card, probably isn't the same though as its a different card, might be worth a try though

Not wanting to insult here (as I've done this myself!!) but you have remembered to plug in the power cable to the card after swapping them?
