i am facing a vierd problem on my PC

as you can see in the screenshot how the display looks




now this happens when i run the run the windows exp. index test or for that matter any games (the games load fine until the actual in game screens)
when the system restarts this garbled screen is present right from bios screen, and its only after i switch off the psc for half an hour that the display looks normal again

otherwise the systems runs just fine, without any problems

now i have done the following-
reinstalled windows
updated various drivers
changed the dvi cable
plugged in the gpu into other slot on the mobo

my config
amd phenom 955be
asus m4a87td evo
xfx 8600gt 256mb (its a recently rma card but was running fine on my old m2ne!!)
2gb corsair ddr3 value ram
vx 550w corssair psu
windows7 ultimate 64bit

plz help
 
It all looked fine till you got to the Nvidia 8600 Gt card.
About a year or two ago there was a big stink about this chip that was used for laptops, and for desktop add in graphics cards.

Be the card no doubt about it.
Its a sign of the GPU overheating on the graphics card, or bad memory.

actually these rma where with my old system(5600+, m2ne and unbranded psu)
but this card was working fine with the old config

i recently changed my config to the one mentioned in the first post(only carried forward the 8600gt and the hdd)
