Simple example, a recent one posted by Harry Putnam. Let's read what kind
of problem he is having with his 9800XT. ;-)

Group,
Some times on bootup, and it seems to be happening more often, I get
my initial login screen but with some kind of strange overlay or
corruption.
The overlay consists of columns of bars about 1 1/4 inches long and
columns that strech full length of monitor. About 8-10 columns wide.
Columns have about an inch of space between them. Something like:
====== ====== ====== ====== ====== ======
====== ====== ====== ====== ====== ======
====== ====== ====== ====== ====== ======
[...]
Its transparent but opaque enough that it makes doing any thing
impossible. Usually a full stop/restart sequence is required to make
it disappear. A reboot usually doesn't do it.
And sometimes even a full stop/restart and it still shows up for
several cycles.
Mobo is the Asus KV8 mobo for athlon64.
Any one have a clue what might be the cause of this?

Now let's read how another poster named Dave W. responds

Some rumors say that Athlon 64 motherboards are having some conflicts with
Radeon cards.

I rest my case. ATI cards cause nothing but never-ending problems.
Problems related to video card driver, problems related to some sort of
motherboard or this or that incompatibility. Problems, problems, nothing
but never-ending problems with ATI cards. You ATI losers, I mean "users"
are pathetically in denial to acknowledge the wide-spread and well-known
problems of the ATI cards...
