I'll try and be quick and concise so you can help me easier. I'll link all my hardware at the end.
I got a sapphire 6950 with a bios switch to put into my new computer. (Its an entire new build all new parts).
I go to do a test run with bios switch on default all my parts are hooked up outside of the case and it boots with video.
I go to put everything into the case and when I'm installing windows I see these blue and purple lines appear over the screen. They keep showing up until the whole screen is covered with them. I shut off the computer because I can't see anymore and then when I reboot I don't get a display, but I'm pretty sure that windows boots.
I tried again flipping the bios switch this time and the same thing happened slowly in the case above. The lines came and then eventually I don't get a display.
I'm using a vga to dvi adapter that came with the gfx card, I tried testing with a different adapter, I tried using pci to mole x, I tried using my older non-pci gfx card and that worked with my mobo with the adapter, I tried using integrated graphics on the mobo and that worked with no adapter and with an adapter.
My hardware is:

Do you guys think that the gfx is just bad and I got unlucky or a psu problem? In the manual it says a 500w psu should handle it
I'm giving the graphics card to my friend to test. He says his psu is bigger than mine and he might be able to test a dvi monitor too.
