So I have serious video problems. BIOS splash, POST info, Windows Logon screen, etc are all artifacted, skewed, etc. It is barely readable. I have 3 x1900 cards, and none have worked.

Now ocassionally, I get a normal screen. The last time I did, I loaded the Catalyst drivers, and now during Win logon, the video signal just dies. Any ideas?

I think that I have ruled out it being the gpus. Right now, I am stumped.

Thanks.
I have this same problem, i rma'ed my 3d card still waiting for new one.
But you now say it couldn't be the card, i hope it isn't the board

What bios are you using ? Do you have artifacts in windows safe mode ?
I only had artifacts in POST and in windows nothing but once i installed drivers i got black screen.
I have a 7950GX2.
Mine also booted while there was no plug from the psu connected to the 3d card, didn't even gave a warning about that.

I have seen other people with this problem and say its because memory of the 3d card is broken?
