Please help!

I have recently built my new PC but when I turned it on with the graphics card in, the screen wasn't rendering right and was split into 3 parts. I installed the drivers from the graphics card driver disk to see if that would fix it. It did, but only when windows was on and could load the drivers, when the motherboard is loading and in the bios, the screen is still split and not rendering properly. I was wandering if anyone knew the solution to this. I have attached some photos to help explain what i mean.

Please find my PC specs on my profile. I am not using the monitor that is stated there because it has not arrived yet, I am using a Toshiba TV plugged in through HDMI.

Kinda looks like either a broken PCB or overheating to me...

 

Move to integrated graphics for now - and RMA the card?

If i use integrated graphics, I can't run the games I play. It is fine when I am into windows, just not in the bios.

Yes.

But you should return the card and ask for a refund/replacement. That's what I meant by RMA.

so it works fine in windows but not in the bios/during post? That's very weird. If it works in windows that indicates that the card works, so the only thing it really can be is a software issue.

Or a broken PCB on the card, which is heating up and distorting the signal?

yeah but that wouldn't explain why it works fine in windows. I'd say the best thing to do would be to try the card in another PC if OP has that option.

Thanks Tedster and nj4ck, but the card works perfectly in windows, no problems what so ever like nj4ck said. Just broken in the bios.

This is my first PC, I don't have another one to try it in.

Okay then.

 

In the BIOS, it might be your TV, actually.

It might not be able to deal with the signal you're giving it for whatever reason.

I have tried it on another TV, same problem, just you can see more of the bios as it is a bigger TV.

Still the same problem though.
