I know this is an old thread of mine but I thought I would give an update to help others who may have this problem in the future. The problem with the card was corrupt video ram. I rma'd the card and it works fine now. Here's a link to the program I used to check the video ram. http://www.majorgeeks.com/Video_Memo...st__d5896.html Thanks for everyones help.
