Two things you may want to check:  video card and memory.

Make sure the video card is seated properly...as well as the memory.

Have you checked this?

If you're still experiencing the same problem...try using a different video card to see if it still happens.  If it doesn't...it's the video card.  If it does...try testing the memory for any bad sticks.
