Hey mate,
could you take a pic of that you see and post it because I can not follow you...
Those letters with 2 dots above should be some letters from european countries like Sweden, Germany, Norway, Denmark or similar ^-^ [I am not familiar with their alphabet]...
But, graphic problems should occur like horizontal or vertical lines or something similar...
Report back please...

u gotta zoom in a bit... not really clear...
Oh ya... Also, my com flickers everytime i play 3d games for a long time, at around 30 minutes after i alt tab. Gotta switch it off to solve the flickering crap... It flickers so badly that i cant even click anything.. Im not really sure whether its the board's fault or the gfx card
Heres my com specs

AMD Athlon64 3800+
2x1GB Kingston DDR2-667
Asus M2NE AM2 Motherboard
Asus EN7600GT 256MB
Western Digital 250GB HDD
Samsung Dvd Writer(not sure what model)

Included are the pics
There are dots at the 2nd pic... Im not sure whether this is supposed to happen.

Hey mate,
about those dots, plug monitor to your friends PC... Run Screen Saver or something to see if those dots are still there on display... If they are there, then you have dead pixels...

Open the case and take out graphic card... Clean connectors with rubber and PCI-E slot with brush... Put back graphic card...
Also, download latest graphic drivers and install them [make sure you uninstall old ones]

Last thingy, what make/model is your PSU???
Report back please...

I have the latest driver for gfx
I do not have another pc... Anyways it is clear if i get into windows... And didnt u see those wordings on Bios?

Ok i fixed the bios problem but now another problem bug me, i changed my graphics card and then the whole com crashed and restarted when it enters windows, the whole com just restarted and i had to go into safe mode to see whats wrong.
I thought it was the driver, i uninstalled it, reinstalled then ran it in normal mode again, but to no avail, my com just restarted
