Hiya, just wondering if anyone else has heard of something similar to this; I've read a few but nothing ever came to an answer and I was wondering if anyone knew how to fix it. I just got my 6800 gt through today, fitted it and from the second i fitted it, the graphics were pretty dodge - the bios load up screens now had white speckles, the windows background was all slightly broken up, yet i had hope - this was before drivers. After my computer moaning at me about "access denied" when not installing the drivers I used a drivercleaner, and this time it seemed to work, even got the newest drivers from the nvidia website. Restart (same speckled start up) and just as windows starts up; the monitor goes onto stand by. Not sure what seems to be happening here, I've checked most things but no obvious reason to me anyways.
If anyone knows anything about this it'd be great before I have to faff about returning it!
Thanks a lot
