We'll I figured it out. I just couldn't wait for my new monitor to check it, as this monitor was working perfectly before my new build. So after about 4 un-installs and re-installs of the catalyst install manager, I went for the custom installs each time to figure it out. Basically I only loaded the display drivers and hdmi drivers, and unchecked everything else it would let me uncheck. Seems that all the extras for steady video, overdrive etc.. were causing the problem because my screen behaves like it should now! I forgot to mention that I bought a second card Wednesday (same one) for crossfire (the problem started occurring before the second card install). Works great. Thanks for your help Shane.
