From what you describe it could be bad video ram. Do you have maybe an old PCI video card you can throw in? Artifacting like that pre-OS doesnt bode well for the health of the video card, Im afraid...

i know this picture sucks, its from a camera phone
i just finished putting together a new system

e6300
asus p5b
an evga 7600gt
it posts but then theres wierd artifacting i guess all over the screen. it works fine i can go into the bios and stuff but the screen is covered in that wierd crap, its like random characters and blocks of color

any idea what this could be? i dont have another pcie videocard to try so im not sure if thats it or not. could it be the mobo thats bad? i ifgure since it technically works, its just hard to see it would just be the videocard, but i dont know

anyone have a clue what it might be?

Please do not double post.
