I have an asus p4c800 board. Been having big problems lately. When i startup, i get a scrambled screen. Sometimes i get no video at all. If i keep on trying over and over again, eventually i will get into windows. Then, eventually it will freeze or weird lines will start to appear on the screen, then I will freeze. I tried 2 agp cards, 2 pci cards, same results with each of them. I have 2gb of memory (4X512)...i removed 1 pair of 512's, same result. i removed the other pair of 512's, same result. i also ran memtest 86, no errors with any memory..i tried a new mother board, same exact results..i put new ide cables in, same results...the only thing i have not changed yet is my power supply and my cpu..my power supply is a thermaltake 450w..2 years old...it seems to be running just fine though, more than enough power..i am not even using half of the power leads...can anyone suggest something for me? please see the attatched picture to see what my screen looks like from time to time at start up. would the computer even work if it were the cpu? i am out of options at this point..right now i am running on a pci card, working for the moment.
