    Has anybody else ran into this issue... I'm not sure what to do to fix it. It looks like the system isn't reading the EDID from the monitor properly. I tried forcing 1024x600 with rivatuner but it was still messed.

    Any ideas or should I just rma?

    Did you open the aao ?
    the monitor cable is mounted at the motherboard, (transparent sticker fixes the small coloured cables in place.)
    I had this problem for a short time, when i did the touchscreen mod (it is a loose connection of the connector). I carefully dismounted the connector from the mainboard, controlled the tin-pins, made sure there was no dust on them, reattached the connector and did a system reboot. Then the problem was gone.

    RMA is the way to go.

    It's so random - mine does it - I then do a restore - fixes it 90% of the time. The between 1-3 days it does it again.
