In case anyone is still having this problem, I found a solution for mine. I had to use the MS private newsgroups to get it resolved.
Try these settings:
1.Go to display properties
2.Click the Settings tab
3.Set the color and resolution to a desired level
4.Click the Advanced button
5.Click the Monitor tab
6.Set the refresh rate to a lower level
7.Click the Troubleshoot tab
8.Uncheck “Enable write combining”
9.Click OK
10.Restart and see if the problem is fixed

Good luck,

Corey
