Asus Rampage III Extreme with ATI HD5870 gone wrong

*NOTE*

Solved.
It appeared my ATI cards could not be combined with the rest of my system. Don't ask why, I don't know.
I blaimed the motherboard, and both of my 5870's but after testing it seemed that it was just the combination and the 5870's work fine in other computers.

I did get a new motherboard but since the new one got the same problem I don't know if the old one was actualy broken.

I've sold 1 HD5870 and planning on selling the other one aswell.
My new GTX580 has no problems at all.
I still want to thank SiComputers for their quick response, help and excellent service.
Any Dutch people might want to check out their website: www.sicomputers.nl

Thank you SiComputers :-)

did you test with digital? maybe analogic adaptor is corrupted

@lalalaa1232

Btw: its an HDMI screen, would be stupid to use analogic signal. Now that I mention it, the 5870 only has digital. What you see the screen do is checking for a signal. It checks for both digital and analog and repeats that until it gets a signal. Might be a bit confusing when you see it at first.

@EliteGhost001 :p

@lalalaa1232

As I mentioned above, it was because of my ATI 5870's. Neither of them work with my system. However, the new GTX580 does work fine. With a red line ever now and then until 3 weeks after I changed to NVidia, the screen is now perfectly normal.

@arttechfreak

Don't worry, you'll be fine.

Those red lines I've got now are the remaines of the lines I got with the 5870's. Its not getting worse.. I hope..
