i have win 7 64 but don't have this issue. However, I have a nvidia 285 gtx.

That's strange. Looks just like the kind of artifacts you get when overclocking the video card too much.

You haven't attached a third party cooler to it and forgot or accidentally mis-attached some of the heat sinks?

I would recommend to stress test VRAM. Google it out.

at a glance i would concur with Boulund. have you clocked your gfx card? does this only affect LOMAC?

As a matter of fact I just found that it occurs in Catalyst Control Center on the Preview, and it did it while watching a streaming video. I did have my card overclocked. I set it back to normal and everything is running GREAT! Thank you all very much for the input.

No worries. You might want to look at getting a better gfx card cooler if you plan to overclock. They are about £15 or so, and can make a difference.
