.. and a few more things
When I start the PC all that appears is some pixels and lines. No characters, no icons.
It looks like the PC is working fine somehow, I can press DEL and the pixels will somewhat change so I guess I'm getting into BIOS configuration. That's why I suspect it's more of a display related problem.
I'm still using an old samsung CRT and using the DVI-to-VGA converter that came with the card. Monitor works fine on another PC.
Any idea what the problem may be? I would guess someone must have had a similar problem before.
test a different card in that board. Evga has decent quality control, but sometimes stuff happens, even in transit. Im willing to bet that mb is your problem.
