odd video problem...could use help

[smmorrison]

1st my specs
athlon 1ghz, 512 ddr2100 ram, ecs k7s5a, radeon 9000 pro 128mb agp

A few weeks ago I added the radeon 9000 pro 128 to my system, and Im curretnly running 2 monitors off of it. Was working fine, but then started noticing odd visual display during startup, as in the text during bios loading was screwy, there were white streaks, etc. This continues into the windows startup and then in windows I get light blue streaking and light blue pixels showing up all over the place. An odd thing is that if Restart a couple of times I can often get a boot where there is no video problem, and it runs fine until I reboot. Also, 3d seems to be fine, I can run jedi knight 2 without any problems.

So Im wondering what the problem might be, Im thinking maybe power supply, mobo, or the vid card itself.

I would appreciate any ideas anyone has,
thanks in advance

This really really needs to be in the video forums. However, you might want to check to make sure that alll the connections are clean and secure.
