Weird Problem. Please help.

[w3tw1lly]

Almost every time I start up my computer, on the POST logo, it shows like colourful lines, when it goes to anything that has text in it such as the BIOS setup or anything like that, I have these weird characters and all this random stuff, such as the DOS text for smiley faces. It also will freeze at the windows XP loading. Although one time, it booted into windows XP but I had colourful lines a little, and then my screen flickered like 4 times then my computer was fine. To get rid of it, I have to hit the reboot button about 60 times before it actually goes to normal. It doesn't seem to be my monitor as my monitor works fine with my Xbox 360. It started about 3-4 days ago for some reason. My stats are as follows:
ASUS A8N-SLi Premium
AMD Athlon 64 3500+
BFG 6800 ULTRA OC
1 GB CORSAIR TWINX DDR400 RAM
OCZ 520 W PSU
DELL P991 19" CRT FLATSCREEN MONITOR
System is about a year old

HERE ARE SOME PICTURES:
Here are some PICS. PLEASE HELP. I reseated my videocard yesterday. Didn't help.

See the jibberish? It would appear as if the jibberish overlays everything behind it.

As you can see there is some weird colours on the XP flag.

Missing letters, but less gibberish.

Try resetting your BIOS.

Power off. Unplug main power cord. Open case, unplug all power leads into the motherboard.
Locate the CMOS battery. Identify the proper CMOS reset jumper: there will be a small plastic connector (the jumper) connecting 2 of 3 pins in a row near the battery on your motherboard which looks like a large watch battery.

for example:

default:
                       
  ---------                            
  | o    o |     o                  
  ---------                         


 change it to:
       -----------
 o    |  o     o |
      -----------

Leave it for 10 seconds, then move it back to the way it was. Connect all power, and power on.

If that doesn't work, try finding a new BIOS file and flashing your bios. (refer to proper flashing instructions from manufacturer.

If that doesn't fix it, try a different video card.
If that doesn't work, I have no idea.

Its not all that weird. Thats what a bad video card looks like.
Lots of things you can try, but testing it in another machine will tell you the most.
You can re-seat the card, make sure the cooling fan is working, clock it down some
Last of all, re-flash the cards BIOS
Good luck
