when i boot my system and am at the log in screen, this strange flickering happens, it just continues flickering, perfectly timed too (although i know it doesnt look it from the video...) to put it in a musical context, 120 beats per minute in 3/4 fits it perfectly with every 3rd beat being a gap from the flicker.
second problem is that when browsing the net, occasionally i will hit a website and the system will lock ?! i will get a couple of odd coloured broken lines here and there and a totally locked pc. if i reboot and go back to that page... its fine.

game play is fine, no drop outs or locks during game play so im really confused.
