What Graphics card are you using, and at what refresh rate & number of
colours are you running?

I had similar problems with an ET6000 running at 24bpp, while it was fine
at 16bpp or 32bpp

As someone else mentioned, it could be a refresh rate problem (you may be
pushing the card too hard) so you might want to try lowering that.
