Not sure what the deal is here.
It started about a week ago intermittently and has progressively gotten worse since.
Line "glitches" began flashing on the screen once in a while, and it gets worse when the system is doing something intensive. For example, if I run Prime95 the screen is almost unrecognizable due to the entire screen "glitching out".
It's not the monitor, it works perfectly hooked up to two other systems using the same cable.
It's not the RAM, it's been tested in this system and another system for stability, and all sticks have been tried one at a time in this system.
It's not Windows, it does this when the system first starts up, in the BIOS, etc.
It does it at all resolutions. (I usually use the native resolution of 1440x900px).
I'm starting to assume that the IGP is going bad in some way or another, but since it's a slim system, I don't have another card to throw in it to check.
It continues when all devices are disconnected; ethernet, USB, etc. (Everything but the power cord).
I've reinstalled the IGP drivers and tried every video setting possible in the BIOS (RAM allocation, etc).
Anyone ever had a problem like this?
I may end up just ordering a cheap low profile video card if I can't figure it out soon.
Edit: My temps are normal, even under stress, never above 47 Degrees C running Prime95.
My voltages are normal as well.
