Just built a new system. This is not my first system build, but I am by no means an expert. Here's what I used:

MSI P35 Neo 2 Mobo
Intel Core 2 Duo E8400
2gb Corsiar Ballistix 1066mhz
Thermaltake Purepower 500w
EVGA 8600GT 256mb
Lite On Superallwrite 20x
WD 500G HDD
Thermaltake Tsunami Dream Case
Windows Vista Home Premium

Now here's the problem. Everything is fine and dandy when the computer is first started up. Everything looks great and works fine. All drivers are up to date, bios, gpu, mobo, etc. After the computer has been running for a while I get some graphic problems. Blue haze around the edges of the screen, blue lines accross the screen, fuzziness around the icons. If I restart then everything is fine again.

Any thoughts? Any programs that I can run to check the different components on the mobo?

Hmm, I would have thought start there, I think I'd start talking to your manufacturers and see about rmaing the video card, b/c my mind says I would think vid card not mobo, so maybe see about getting an exchange on your card, if that does not fix it, I'd probably look at the mobo.

OK I will contact the folks I bought it from. It's less than a week old. Thanks for the input, and if anyone else has an idea please feel free to post it.

On a side note are there any programs I can run myself to test the integrity of my hardware?
