Asus A8V Deluxe + BFG 6800 Ultra = Problems HELP!!

[StormRoyale]

Howdy folks.
I just put together my new system and I'm having a weird problem. I have the Asus A8V Deluxe with the newest bios (1009), newest chipset drivers, Antec True Power 550 and BFG GeForce 6800 Ultra OC, also with the newest drivers (66.93).
Now here's the problem: When the GeForce drivers are installed, the screen gets.... Staticy? But not like UHF. Pixels become grainy and text become illegible. It's kind of hard to describe.
I thought it was hardware failure with the Graphics card, so I had that replaced. Replacing it didn't do anything. Neither has reseating the video card, or playing with the Bios settings. I spoke with BFG tech support and they think it might be a problem with the motherboard. But when the drivers are NOT installed, the picture is fine. Could the motherboard even be at fault? Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas?

Hmm, has anyone else reported this with a ASUS A8V Deluxe / GeForce 6800 Ultra combination?

Doesn't sound like a mobo problem. What is your monitor?

My monitor is a Samsung SyncMaster 765MB. I had also changed monitors with no effect.

Try looking at the video cable.
- Where is it located. Is it near any magnetic/power sources?
- Is it bunched up?
- Is the monitor plug seated properly?
- Try moving the monitor away so the cable is straight.

I may have seen the types of issues you have described. Cable placement was the problem.
