Q6600 overclocked to 3.0
3GB Crucial PC6400
Ultra X3 power supply
Quadro FX 3450 (cyberlink advisor gives yellow grade)
old Dell 2405 (non HDCP compliant) using AnyDVD
LG GGW-H20L
PowerDVD Ultra 8

I should mention that I stressed with Prime95 and CPU/RAM is rock stable.

So what do people think is the problem? I'm guessing the old non-HDCP monitor and much less likely the GPU. I'm hoping I don't have to waste the Quadro.

Eventually I plan to use this to convert HD camcorder footage to blu-ray but I would like to watch an occasional movie. Any help would be appreciated?

Thanks in advance.
It's the Quadro - its not optimized for BD playback (its more of a CAD system type card). Go with a new 9 or 8 series card and you will be fine!
