I just finished my rig: gigabyte ex58-extreme 1366 i7 motherboard, i7 920 cpu, corsair dominator 1600mhz 2g X 3. evga 260 video card. 750 watt psu

ok i hooked it all up and it loads up everything seems to work. Shortly after powering up I get the logo screen on my monitor, then after the logo screen is up for about 5 seconds, the screen goes to complete junk wierd interpherence that jumbles up the screen like the numbers on the screen in the matrix. If i reset it it loads up the logo screen again and then goes to junk, can't get to the post screen. What do you think I should do?

You should try a different video card or PSU. Even an old PCI video card is good enough to make sure the video card isn't the issue.

^+1.

Test GPU and PSU first. If it's not either, check the LCD. Also, try with a single DIMM of RAM.

@OP: What PSU?

thanks for the input!!! turns out it was my piece of *&^@! video card from those bastards at evga. 65% of the merch i bought from them failed!!! Tested with a cheap one, got a Gigabyte brand graphics processor for less and it works great. I'm now a Gigabyte fan, there stuff was soooo much better, they have crazy manufacturing power overthere in Taiwan state of the art factory!!! :sol: oh by the way I wondered if anyone else had bad experiences with evga products so I googled "evga sucks" and there was a lot of stuff one guy actually was so pissed off at the rma process they put him through he started his own website called www.evgasucks.net I thought that was pretty funny... I will never buy evga again. :sol:

Keep the 35% as collector items
