I just finished my first build and am having issues with the graphics. I'm using an LCD monitor that was fine with my old computer, so I know that's not the issue. Anyway, when I installed Win7, the screen was typical blurr you get before configuring the card. Except, there's a pattern of green splotches covering the entire screen. First, I installed the driver using the cd because the computer didn't show the video card in the device manager. When I restarted the computer, it crashed with a blue screen error 0x0000016 (the screen actually had blue and dark blue vertical stripes). I did a few things to try to fix this...first I reformatted the hd and reinstalled Win7. This time the computer recognized the video card and installed the driver. Upon restart, same issue. Then, I went into safe mode, removed the driver and restarted the computer. It booted fine, but then installed the driver at login. After restarting again, received blue screen again (with same video quality issue throughout repair efforts). I also switched slots on the MOB.
So my question is, does this sound like it may be strictly the video card/driver, or is it possible other issues are at play?
