30" Cinema Display + Mac Pro 1,1

    I know both of these are old gear by now, but they are good for the work I need them for and my budget is limited. The 30" display I bought recently. The Mac Pro is patched to run El Capitan 10.11. My graphics card is a Nvidia GeForce 210, which has one DVI port, a HDMI and a VGA.

    I also purchased a second hand 150w PSU for the 30" display. However, I'm not sure if the 150w PSU is actually not working or if the problem is my graphics card!

    I also have a 23" Cinema Display which is using a 90w PSU and works fine with the Mac Pro and graphics card. I switched the 90w PSU with the 150w for the 23" display and nothing shows on the 23".

    I have no other way of testing the 150w, but I think it's dead, not 100% sure. Is there any way I can test it, or should I look at buying a new graphics card with dual-DVI?

    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
