You are right, I should have phrased it as "almost always a driver issue, or bad ram."

I love trial and error troubleshooting over the internet! haha

Ya, nothing quite like it. Although getting a user on the phone that isn't sure which is the computer and which is the monitor is a bit tough too - lol

OK I've just about performed every proceedure listed here.

I've ensured the Chipset is correct and updated the drivers (it was the correct driver)
I've uninstalled the Nvidia 5700FX card.
Deleted all Nvidia software
Scanned HDD for errors (none found)
Still have the issue
Verified Bios set up

Anything I might have missed.

i had a similar issue when i upgraded my monitor. i had a agp card but it could not handle my new lcd monitor. i then built a new computer with a pci video card and it worked fine. if you still have the old monitor see if the computer will work with it. worth a try.

I agree with silverplanet....plug the old monitor back in. Undo what you last did.
