I changed out the mother board and everything was fine, until yesterday. It started doing the same thing. I checked the fan on the video card and it was not tuning. I tried a different power connector to the card and it started but soon did the same. SOOOOO now I'm thinking it has got to be the power supply, altho all the voltages check out.
On the RMA ECS wanted me to be a vendor or buy from them to get an RMA, they had me fill out a form since I told them I bought it at Fry's and I guess there is a different process with them and Fry's, but I'm thinking that the board is OK now.

It looked as if the resolution was either to much for the monitor or the refresh rate was to high, it had that blocky fuzzy jumbled look but you can still make out the movement of I guess I'm asking if anyone has seen this as a motherboard problem, have not changed that yet. >> >>Mark Dodge -- Tallyho ! ]:8) -- Life is a yo-yo, and mankind ties knots in the string.
