Problem with Gigabyte 6600GT PCIx

[STRONTY]

I've had my Asus A8N-Sli for about 3 weeks now, no problems until recently when I started tweaking the display settings for Soldier of Fortune, I had changed the screen resolution and some of the other display settings for the game, after that I've been getting a fuzzy display when I played Soldier of Fortune and also when not playing a game.

Setup"
A64 3500 90 nm
A8N SLI Deluxe
Single Gigabyte GV-NX66T128D GeForce 6600GT 128MB DDR3
1 Gig Corsair pc3200 xl 2 2 2 5
300 gig sata Maxtor HD
500 watt psu, 20 pin connector


I've uninstalled Soldier of Fortune and re-installed the vid card drivers, still getting the fuzzy display. I also connected the 'ez plug' to ensure the vid card is getting enough juice since I'm only using a 20 pin instead of 24 pin connector from my power supply.

If I change resolutions, I can usually avoid the fuzzy screen for about an hour or so, also whenever I'm playing a game, the display will be fine until I exit the game and then soon after the fuzzy effect comes back again.

Anyone else having problems with this Vid Card?

Power is a possibility (Newegg sells adaptors for those who have decent Powersupplies)

Also what monitor are you using? If it is a LCD and you are not at it's native resolution it will be fuzzy.

I'm using a 19inch synchmaster Samsung CRT with the RBG BNC inputs... was about $400 new back in 2000... don't have it in front of me and can't remember most of the specs. I'll try the 20-24 pin adapter, funny if it's a power issue that it took 3 weeks to surface and it's not too big of an issue since it really hasn't gone flakey when I'm playing games(other than SOF 1+2 but HL2 is fine) when the vid card is drawing the most power.
