I would say If you are having artifacts then I would check out your video card, maybe it needs its drivers updated... Or it is on its way out...

What are your temperatures?

Download speedfan here

Then post a screen shot of speedfan

Your video card could be overheating

I also am wondering if once you have completed the fresh install of the OS you were talking about in your other thread if that will help at all...

For right now it is better to take care of one problem and see if it persists on the new system...

Good luck
