Sounds more like a DDC problem with your monitor, which you didn't
bother to mention. Now would be a good time to provide us with the make
and model# of your CRT/LCD monitor, what refresh setting you were using,
color depth, etc. It sounds like it may be a sync issue.
This, assuming neither of these boards every worked with said monitor.
You didn't state a sequence of events, i.e. what failed when. We need
that information to help you.
