Display Problems

Hello, Got a problem cant seem to figure it out.

Upon boot up, I see little colored dots on the bios boot up screen. On the
next screen where it checks DMI and whether or not it should boot from a
cdroom, some of the words have changed letters such as instead of master
disk, it says, Master Dick or have symbols in the letters. Instead of
controller it says cntrolr. Stuff like that.

When vista boots up, i have Lines that go through the screen, looks like the
old snow lines on old televisions except they are colored. They also move
when i move windows over them. Its very weird.

It was working for a while. I then installed a 2nd dimm of Ram, same brand
same model. It worked for a couple weeks and then it started.

Heres my specs:
Operating: Vista Ultimate X64
Mobo: GA-K8NE
Processor: AMD Atholon 64 Processor 3000+
Video Card: Powercolor Radeon X1950 Pro
memory: 2 X CORSAIR ValueSelect 1GB 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 400 (PC 3200)

any help would be appreciated!

Thanks

Rich
