is my 4870x2 broken?

I wouldn't mind exchanging cards but the HIS card isn't even in stock.. I'd be waiting a month to get a card back.

I tried calling NCIX but was sent to voicemail...

I swear this is the last time I buy an ATI card

That sucks man. I was pretty much in your shoes except I was going to back to Nvidia to buy the gtx280. Start with the basic stuff to trouble shoot your issues, like making sure the power connectors to your video card are tight and not loose. Also make sure that dvi connector to your vid card is secured properly. Might as well check the power connector to your motherboard, etc. while your in there. Are you using an 8 pin adapter by chance? If you can return the card and get a full refund do it. Just tell them it is defective which it obviously is and I'm sure you'll get a full refund since it hasn't been 30 days. They don't open until 930am PST I believe. Your obviously not happy with that card, or the 4870x2 in general, might as well return it while you can.
 
When I print screen the red crap doesn't show up, I'm pretty sure it's either my moniter or the DVI to HDMI cable that I'm using.

I should have bought a different moniter, no DVI is failboat

and I've fixed all the other problems with my card, and since this doesn't even seem like a problem WITH the card , returning it wouldn't do any good.
 
@ the guy who had the similar problem

did you get any redness in windows as well? I'm going to buy a new moniter, I want to make sure it's not the video card's problem :(
 
Well I just ordered a new moniter so I REALLY HOPE IT'S NOT

I've wanted to go to a dell moniter for a while now.. I guess this is my excuse..
