On random occasion, i'll try to get back into windows, and I'll hear windows starting up and such, but my monitor doesn't have an input signal, it does however until windows is supposed to appear... what the hell is going on? i've tried catalyst 8.9 and 8.10... to no avail =(

I have the same problem with the X38 chipset when using 4 dimms. The motherboard has a problem supplying enough power from a cold start to give a video signal when using 4 dimms. This is not a power supply issue but a chipset issue. To fix the problem either take out all but one ram module until the board warms up or swap to a lesser video card until the board warms up. This does not plague everyone with the X38 chipset but quite a few and it is well documented on several forum boards. This issue can happen with any monster video card. I had the same issue with my GTX 280 and my 4870x2.
