Artifacts on boot

[nevdawg]

Alright I have a good one for you guys.
Straight when my PC boots up, I get a screen full of artifacts... Looks exactly like it does when a tube TV isn't on a channel... only in color.

It began after rebooting my computer after installing new drivers for my video card. As soon as it posts, my screen is filled with artifacts. I can't even get in to my BIOS. I have no clue why this is happening. System specs are in my signature...

Things I have done:
- I have 2 video cards in crossfire, so I tried both of them one at a time. It still happens on both cards individually.
- Reset the CMOS
- Took out a stick of RAM.
- Unplugged all fans, hard drives, and dvd drives.

Still happens. I'm starting to believe it could be a PSU or motherboard problem? Anyone have any idea? Thanks!

Typically a video card only artifacts under few scenarios. Either its:

Overheating
Has Bad mem
Has bad seating
Is overclocked too far
CPU is overclocked too far and is causing issues.

Since this is happening on BOTH cards I am at a loss, sorry.

Thanks for your reply.
Just found out now that it is in fact my monitor...
Looks like a good time to buy a nice 24"

Thanks again!
