thats what happens when it is overclocked too much, praticularly because of heat, although it usually happens to me only when ive overclocked the video ram. Seen as you have onboard video that doesnt make much sense.

edit: and laos make sure onboard video is correctly disabled.

uhh well feel it and see if it is really hot, if so then there is a heat problem that is causing the marks on the screen. is there a fan on it? make sure it is running if there is.
