It's definately a video issue. Sounds like maybe your card is not seated
right in the slot. I'd pull it out and stick it back in and see if that
helps. If not then try reinstalling the drivers.

Could also be the size of the power supply. Check the voltages on the
board with Asus Probe or Motherboard Monitor. These programs can log
the voltages on the board to a log file, and you can see in the file
whether the voltages dip below their 5% or so regulation. Bare minimum
for this board is 350W (330W listed for an Intel 865 motherboard at
max load plus your peripherals). An Antec Truepower would meet this
(due to separate internal regulators) or a higher wattage of another
brand.
