I have removed the new devices(hd 6870 and new memmory) and put on the old(ATI X1950 and th RAM that was before) and still same.

The first thing I would be inclined to do would be replace the motherboard battery. CR2032.

Next clear the CMOS thoroughly overnight.

Load Optimised BIOS Default settings.
