XFX FX 5950 hangs up computer during boot

I can't boot up with this graphics card using DVI-D to DVI-D cable,
works using the analog option. I see on the Windows 2000 boot screens
5 pairs of vertical stripes. After many power cycles it finally works
flawlessly.

My system:
mobo: AbitNF7-s, version 2
CPU: Athlon xp3200
Memory: Mushkin PC 3500 1GB dual channel
Windows 2000, SP4
Power supply: Antec 380 W
Monitor: NEC LCD1980sx

Need help urgently

Are you using the latest Video drivers from the manufacturer and also the
latest motherboard chipset drivers?

regards
