I think I have a fubar video card.
I have an SLI setup (just installed not to happy with the performance)
Well I see the bottom section of my display keeps screwing up. Either goes white on the start of an ap, or the picture begins to wave really badly. Right now I am thinking of giving up on building a decent pc. I had problems with the ATI X850XT keep crashing to desktop on CS. Now this happens. I've already been through 9 clean installs and 2 PSU's and a ton of other stuff. 2X6800GT's |

The only thing I can think of is the motherboard
I would try testing it on a different motherboard with SLI if you can, from a different company |

Yeah I know I just returned my X850XT.
You see the top card really is SOL for any kind of cool air. It gets the dirty air from the gpu below it. |

that's incredibly hot.
Also try each individual card in a single GPU set up and amke sure they each work alone. |
