Having display problems on boot-up

[Nauta]

I've finally saved enough to put together my dream machine. The only problem is that upon boot-up, the screen is garbled (you can see the normal boot information, but there is extra stuff all over the screen).

Here are my specs:
AMD XP 2100
Epox 8K3A motherboard
Corsair XMS2700 DDR memory (256 Mb)
Gainward GeForce 4 Ti4600 video card
Samsung SyncMaster 955DF monitor

Now, here is one possible problem area - the Gainward has 2 DVI connectors and one S-Video, but my monitor does not accept either. The card came with an adapter, though.

Any thoughts would be appreciated!

check the monitor cable for bent pins
