got it working by flashing bios (gigabyte has a tool named @ vga bios --> if you have a gigabyte card then download this software. after that step download the actual bios version from the manufacturer page and flash yours with the program named above. tip: before doing that save your old bios)
i have the same problem too. i read through various forums but nonthing helped but to disable hardware acceleration. anyway could this be a hardware issue or do you think the problem is the driver software? I 'm thinking about to send the gpu back to the manufacturer to get a new one, but does this solve the problem?
yeah man i am with you, i have duel display, ATI 5870 and am having the same problem as you. brand new machine 12 gig ram i7 bla bla and it cant even play youtube clips.
im am going to try and install some other codec support and see if that fixes it
Goddamn. I have current drivers and was still getting this shit, and you saved me. You rule, thanks.

Interesting... My computer is doing this too, only I get a GREY flickering line. and occasionally it's a large "box" instead.
This fix didn't help. Any other ideas? I'm using a HD6950 and I've tried turning off Overdrive.
It mostly happens in Firefox. I've had one similar flicker in a game but never when anything was going on in 3D...
