Default Nvidia Geforce 6800 GS help

Nvidia Geforce 6800 GS
AMD Athlon 64 Processor 3200+
Samsung 80gig SATA HD
2Gig Dual memory
17 '' tft Hercules monitor

I have got the above specs but I have a problem when the pc is turned on
first thing in the day..... Everything starts fine, when I get the log on to
windows screen I can log on. But then I get some of the screen showing some
tiny white dotted areas, I can still continue to log on.
Windows start even tho its slow anyway..... when all my icons show on
desktop after a couple of minutes I get columns of the tiny white dots all
across my screen and then the screen goes completely black although pc is
still running so I have to hit the off button to close it down.
When I reboot the pc it runs perfect.

I don't think its the monitor has it was fine until I built this pc which is
about 2 months old and has been doing it since then.. Has its a new pc I
have installed the latest drivers for everything
Any Ideas would be appreciated

Daft question, but have you plugged in the power to the card, I believe this
card needs 2 molex?
What about core clock speeds, have these been changed in windows?
Is the voltage setting correct in the bios?

It needs one PCIe Molex connector.

So why does the power splitter/connecter come with 2 molex sockets?
My 6800GS has 2 also the 6800 ultra does.

Try underclocking your card's 2D clock just to see if the dots disappear.

Here is the CoolBits registry hack which exposes a clock frequency
adjustment facility in nVidia Settings.

Sorry, I didn't know that the GS is also available for AGP now.
