I have installed the latest nvidia 64 bit driver for the GTX275

Heat issue is my first suspect. Have you checked the temps of the GPU? But since it's a brand new build, if you're saying it's had this problem since day one, probably a bad videocard, need to RMA.

If you are getting graphic corruption during POST on a cold startup then the card is faulty, RMA it.
