Building a computer.
Got a AMD 2500 barton cpu
A7V8X-X motherboard
512 mushkin RAM
80gb HD
Radeon 9600 SE video card
I put everything together. Seems to boot up fine except for the picture. The words on boot up are all distorted, it seems that the letters aren't all complete. I've tried taking it out and putting it back in.
Do I have to install the drivers first? I'm not sure how If i can't even read the desktop to install windows. Could it be a broken video card??
