My console is flickering blue! [SOLVED :D]

I just installed Arch, and it all works, but the console flickers! Like, all the text flickers between white and blue really fast. Sometimes it stops flickering and just goes back to white. But then it would start again and it flicker really fast between light blue and normal white color.
This is happening on a brand new install and I only have a console right now to work in. I tried looking on google, but I didn't find anything. My video card is a 6800 Ultra (AGP 256Mb), and it worked fine in Gentoo/XP...
Can somebody please help me?

Wow, thanks! You saved me!
I do have a really loose cable, but usually it changes the color completely (blue,pink, or yellow) and not so subtly.
Thank you so much! Now I can enjoy this system in full colors!
(pacman just found an update on kernel26 Time to reboot...)
