Is your system overclocked at all? That really reminds me of when I would overclock my GPU too far...
Make sure your your pci is set to 100MHz not auto in your bios. Since you are overclocking your CPU.
@infinitekMake sure your your pci is set to 100MHz not auto in your bios. Since you are overclocking your CPU.
Do that first and if you still have issues, I would reset your bios to default clocks, and see if you still have that video corruption. If you don't after setting everything to default clocks, slowly bump your cpu overclock back up until it happens again, then notch the overclock back down to where it was stable. It sounds like it is either the PCI clocks like infinitek stated or your cpu overlock is too high.
