Corrupted boot/bios screen(A7N8X)

[Nero]

Sometimes my boot screen and also the bios screen gets messed up and bits of
words,missing words and other junk show.
If I reboot at least 3 times it goes away.
Is this psu, ram, graphics card, or other problem?

Are you using a Radeon 9700 pro adapter or something like this ?

If thats the only problem you have I would try a different video card.
Testing the memory is easy though with Memtest86 and checking the PSU with
motherboard monitor. If you dont have another video card you might try
underclocking the one you have with the utility for the card. I have one
of those cards and although it runs ok at stock speeds it gives that type of
error with even a small overclock. Different vendor cards may overclock
more.
