6800 wont work with drivers installed.

Just got a BFG 6800OC for a new build. Athlon 64 3000 and DFI K8T800 Pro board. Card works fine until I install the video driver. Then when Windows loads the screen gets distorted and the monitor goes into stand by. I tried it in my main system with same chipset with same results. I then installed it in a system with nForce 3 and it wouldnt even boot. Then installed it in my old XP 3200 system with nForce 2 board and it worked perfectly. Im stumped. Ive used various 6800 cards in these systems with no problems.

Man! I sware by BFG.
Sometimes tho a lemon slips by, Thank the digital gods for lifetime warranty.
The latest drivers are:
ForceWare Release 80
Version: 81.95
I am running 81.94.

Is this a new card?
Could it be overclocked some how?
Tech support isn't too bad, comparitivley.

G'Luck

Its a used card and may be faulty. Ive used 3 different driver versions and Win XP and 2000. Its also running at default settings. I havent tried tech support yet. Thanks
