Question DVI disortion

On my first build (see sig) I hooked up a Samsung 920BW monitor through DVI. However I am getting random green pixels and occasionally green horizontal lines that flash up. I notice this in the BIOS as well as while in windows. The lines/pixels usually correspond with the image, its not just random. Installed newest driver and it works fine in VGA.

Any ideas? Thanks.
