take out your gpu for a few min and try to see what the computer will do using the integrated card. if this works OK then the card is going bad. this is the first step.

Oh really. according to every motherboard i have ever seen. they come with integrated video cards.
 


Most motherboards, in fact, do not have integrated video.

This sounds like a typical GPU overheat. Let the card cool, then turn it on again - are the triangles (called artifacts) gone? Check the temperature of the GPU in the Catalyst Control Center.

Just call the company and send it back for repair i think that is the best bet they al have good warranties.
 


Dude, none of the X58 boards have integrated graphics. As far as Intel CPUs on LGA 1156 only the lower end boards have integrated graphics, and really they only have the outputs for integrated graphics as the IGP is on lower end I3 and dual core I5 CPUs. The quad core I5s and I7s do not have an IGP. As for AMD, Integrated graphics are only on low and midrange boards. Higher end models use the 790FX (soon to be replaced with the 890FX) which does not have integrated graphics.
