also this seems to happen while something else is open

example:

In the console, run Top.
See if there aren't any processes which consume nearly all of your cpu cycles/memory.

I think you have a video driver problem.  

As I posted before, have you tried to turn off video acceleration to troubleshoot?  Are you using standard XF86 video drivers?

Have you tried to switch off AGP?
