Hi I just built a computer the other day with a Tekram ATX motherboard and after I got everything plugged in, I turned it on and all that showed up on my monitor was green swiggly lines moving around.  I am not sure if putting in different type of ram will clear this problem, and I tried a new monitor, and it acted as if nothing was going to the monitor.  Then I moved the card into another slot and it did the same thing. After that I tried a different video card (that I know works... it's out of my other computer) and I plugged that in and it did the same thing. Is this a possible PCI slot problem?   Because the motherboard is new, and everything is new.  Even the video card that I knew worked was new.  Both monitors I tried were at least a year and a half old.  So what could be the problem? If anyone knows how to help please do so, thanks!
