Blue lines on 8800GTX?

[Dharok]

Aw god, please say I don't need to RMA this lol. Just received my 8800GTX this morning along with my 24" DGM. Installed 169.21 drivers, loaded up a few games and noticed blue artifacting/lines? Bare in mind this is at default settings - wondering if theres anything I can do to stop this, not only does this happen in games now but also just generally xp.

What's going on?

Its not going to pick it up in a screengrab buddy!

Tried a spare monitor cable or checking the connection?

I would check the connection.

Before I sold my 2900XT I thought I broke it or something, had blue crap all over the screen including on bios screens and everything, so I checked connection and was all fine .

I restarted and it doesn't appear to be happening any longer, also just secured the connections as they were a little lose, but tightened now. All looks good!

Yea connections loose caused it.
