ABIT KV8 Athlon 64 Motherboard Boot Question

Just got my 2800+ retail / kv8 abit mobo combo from newegg for 198. Everything is up and running great, however, whenever I reboot, I get these strange video errors, unlike anything ive seen before. The screen is all messed up with what appears to be a low quality picture stretched out and deformed on the screen as soon as it reboots. To fix this all I have to do is reset the CMOS, but it's still a PITA.
Anyone know whats up? Im typing on this computer now and ive been playing farcry all afternoon but whenever i restart, i have to reset the CMOS. Already tried flashing to the newest BIOS, and tried the failsafe settings, but no luck. My rams in the right spots, and my 5700 ultra works fine and has never done that before.
 
Hmm. Is this before or after the inital Abit splash graphic? Or maybe it IS the Abit splash graphic but screwed up? Try posting this at Abit's forums also. Someone there might have seen it. I found some helpful stuff there.
 
I think that it IS the splash screen really messed up. Nothing happens, then that comes up, but I hear my drives being detected, my floppy going off, so its getting past the POST. Kinda crazy
