Hey all, I just got in today and turned my system on and got this as my display
my graphics card is a couple of years old now (its an 8600gts if i remember right) this sort of corruption occurs from POST so the bios is practically unreadable, I haven't changed the drivers, added or removed anything, the display works fine with my 360 through a VGA connection, my PSU is a 640W corsair one.

I think that it is most likely going to be your graphics card, however checking evertying else (such as the monitor and cables) is going to be much easier to do then checking your gpu (unless you have another one sitting around already).
Chances are that it is one its way out, but better to know for sure then invest money in something you dont actually need

Well I dug my old mac mini out the cupboard and that works fine on the monitor, I can't find my old PSU and I don't have anything that I can really use to replace it but I'm gonna say screw it and just order myself a new card, I've being meaning to do it for a while anyways.
