    it is most likely your monitor commiting suicide slowly...

    try a different monitor if possible, ill bet it will clear.

    I've had times where i onle partially plugged in the monitor and had similar results. it shouldn't do too much harm(i mean heck when yo overvolt a monitor all that happens is stuff gets really bright for a bit)

    just check than, and if youhave to, quickly check oher things.

    I've had a similar issue with a 7800GT ingame(only ingame) though, try messing with drivers too.

    and FYI i wouldn't put any more money inot an AGP card again reuseability of such said cards is relatively low.
