Here is my system:
Be6 w/new bios (sh)
celeron2 667
geforce2 gts 32 meg
network card
sb pci128
Intel PCI cam card

When I boot up I notice that I get CRAPPY looking lines in my display. Now, I can reboot a few times and it will eventually stop. (I normally get impatient and start clearing the cmos). This is not only on THIS BF6...but also a friend of mine has the same board and I just put my Vid Card in it and it did the exact same thing...

I dont really want to try putting a crappy PCI card in until I can find someone else that had this same problem or had heard about it or can help! If anyone can help me out here I would REALLY appreciate it! THANKS! :)

hm...even if it works fine in 2 other motherboards? I put it in my BE6 and it works fine...my P2B...works great! Is there any way that this can possibly be a conflict with something on this board?

Yep, the video card is definitely going bad....same problem happened with the machine my mom has. I replaced her vid card and all is fine now.

you've got the VIO voltage setting wrong for the geforce. Might happen if you have your VIO at 3.50 volts.
