I have this weird problem.

When I start up my computer my bios/boot screen wont display on my lcd monitor, but will display on my tv out. Now when I get into windows everything appears to return to normal and I can use my lcd screen as my primary display but when I run 3dmark05 the score is around 2800 instead of 3800 when it runs normally.

This problem began when I first installed everything, after I took out my lan card right below the video card everything when back to normal for a while but now its acting up again.

System Specs:
NF4-DAGF
Athlon 64 3000+ Venice
Leadtek GeForce 6600GT
Antec 400W power supply

This problem is begining to drive me crazy, does anyone know what could be wrong and how to fix it?

well, fuck

after screwing around with my pci cards about 10 times and reseting the bios about 5x to no avail, I decided to give up. I put everything back to normal, closed the case, and bam everything works fine again. Ive rebooted a couple times, ran 3d mark 2x, turned the power off for a little bit and everything is still working.

temperatures were fine throughout

I would still like to know what the hell would casue something like this since its the weirdest problem I have ever encountered.

When you open your case, it lets the grimlins inside. Keep your case closed and they won't get in.
