So I built this computer from scratch and I turned it on and all was good. I start to install windows and I get to the license screen and I can only see the top half of screen. I turn off computer and turn it back on and all I get now is a pci listing screen that says at the bottom (verifying DMI pool data.........) with a blinking cursor. HULK SMASH! :banghead:

Video card problem?  Does the drive light keep blinking? 

What kind of video is in the thing?  It sounds like Windows install may have loaded the wrong driver somewhere.
