scrambled first POST with AIW9600xt

[megawat]

I'm building another amd 64 3000 in an asus k8vdx and just did the first POST ,The video was very scrambled with horizontal streaks (can just barely interperate the bios only because i am familiar with it.My last build was virtually identical and the POST/BIOS screen was clear. DO Ihave a MBd or Video card issue? Am I once again missing something?

Check the video card in another machine, it is probably going to be DOA.
