Grab that, pick the relevant UEFI or BIOS download and see what it says. You might have dodgy hardware.

Edit: Have you tried a different monitor / interface (VGA, DVI etc)?
Cheers will give it a go.

Not tried another monitor yet no, although I had Ubuntu running from CD last night on this machine without any issues, and Win7 Pro ran & displayed fine before I formatted the drive so I don't think the issue lies there.
 
Caged you were bang on, it was the monitor. Tried a 19" at work and it ran straight through to Server 2008 setup!

My monitor - Samsung 23" LED via VGA - works fine with my laptop, and I was running Linux Ubuntu on this PC with it last night without any problems, so I've no idea why Win7/Server 2008 setup didn't like it. Resolution too high perhaps?
