Anyone remember old arcade video games from the 80's when they first started up or rebooted the screen went through a test pattern with everything all scrambled on the screen?
Well, that's what appears to happen on my system. At first I thought it might be the cpu temp. It's idling at 48C, which seems high for a Phenom II X4 940, but the max is 62C on this CPU.
The scrambling doesn't happen right away. It takes some time. The computer never shuts off or reboots. After 10 or 20 minutes the BIOS screen just gets scrambled and characters on the screen just keep moving at random, so the screen never really freezes.

I am using the onboard video. I tried DVI and VGA. Haven't tried the onboard HDMI yet. I suppose I could put a video card in and see what happens.
Any Ideas?
