Its unlikely its the hardware. A processor bug that only affects
instructions writing to the display seems fairly unlikely. Its possible its
due to your motherboards AGP system, but thats unlikely as well.

I would suspect its due to windows, possibly driver(though unlikely at this
point) or perhaps a strange installation of GDI+?
