So I finally get my new build to work, but now the display looks wired. There are like little boxes that dont display ne thing, or little vertical and horizontal lines that dont display. I've tested the monitor and its not that, tried vga and dvi cables, nothing. so its it safe to say the vid card? I can make out certain parts of the screen. I let windows setup run till it got to the point where it was asking to partition and same thing.

Specs:
DFI LANParty NF4 SLI-DR
A64 3700+ with stock cooler
2x 1Gig G.Skill Extreme DDR500 (1 in use)
BFG 7800 GT OC
NEC DVD burner, WD160 gig PATA HDD
Antec 500W SmartPower 2
 
Does it do the same thing during POST or in the bios?

If so, I think you very likely have become another of many recent BFG video card victims.
 
i called and got an RMA Number. They said the replacement card should be here within a week of their receipt of my old one. They also said they dont cross ship these cards. I dont like the idea that I'm sending my 'new' card in and can get a potential refurb.
 
You are getting a refurb. That's the only kind they send out for RMAs.

This is common? A company sends you something defective yet new, so they replace it with something 'fixed', and not new? I can't wait for wal-mart to start selling stuff, anything defective and Ill go shell the money*2 for a truly new product, then take the defective product to them and get my money back .... thats like a companies way of pulling a walmart consumer return

Lets all go rip people off, sounds like some tedious ass-hair waxing fun
