this might not amount to anything, but do you share some of your ram
with your video card? if you do, maybe changing the refresh latency
and using the shadow ram options could result in something good.

i've had a similiar issue with a 3dfx "banshee" videocard and some
(beta)driver under win2k (or win98?). this card had 16MB video-ram and
as cards are coming with more and more ram, these things might occur
more often. the thing is: where does the video-card save this
"screenshot", when the computer is powered down? maybe this ATX ("soft
poweroff" or so?) is to blame. or even ACPI. yes, blame ACPI ;-)
