Bios screen and Windows screen

I have a question reguarding the bios screen and the XP loading screen. When i turn my PC on, i occasionally see a bunch of blobs and flashing boxes cover my bios and startup screen. Restarting sometimes corrects this. Sometimes the display has lines through it when it gets to the windows logon screen. Any idea of what this could be? Bad mobo, vid card, other component? Should i be worried? (this also happened once in a while with my other motherboard before it quit working...(abit IC7-G)

My ATI tuner card drove me and my computer nuts. Try removing it and see if that gets you in. If no joy try swapping out the vid card with a known good card.
