The Pixels on my screen are jumping. It looks like popping confetti. I would think its my monitor but it only happens in SL. i tried to take a snap shot but the picture turns out perfect. Any ideas???

I'm suspecting something may be wrong somewhere between the 3D engine of your card and the part that shows the 3D image as 2D. It could be that part of video memory (maybe one page in particular) is failing.

The fact that you got a good screencap means that the 3D engine is actually working right. The fact you can view that screencap and notice no other problems says that your 2D engine and display is working right.

Check it using another high-stress 3D game, something that has lots of objects, textures, and high framerates. That should help narrow things down.
