    So, today I finished my new build, upon booting and updating my SSD's firmware, everything was fine, however, a few boots later and all the colours are strange.

    I don't think it's the GPU's being broken as both show colour distortion in the exact same ares in all images each time.

    What could it be? I don't think it's the monitor either as the OSD is fine.

    EDIT: And just as I post this my mother points out that the DVI cable is loose, upon putting it in fully the errors disappeared :)

    Haha how stupid can someone be. I was going to tell you to check your cable when I read your mother had fixed you.

    EDIT - Don't be calling people names, its an easy mistake to make. Plus, "your mother has fixed you" sounds freaky :eek:

    That's handy having a family of experts! :p
    That's how builds go. Check the obvious first (well not that obvious, but connectors are generally the first conclusion).

    Better to feel silly over having missed something over RMA any day! :cool:

    She's no expert, just noticed that one of the cables didn't look like it was in right :P

    It's miles better than having to RMA, after testing both cards I got so worried :rolleyes:
