I tried installing the new Omega's based on the Catalyst 4.5 as well as blowing out the vent in the back and the fans on the bottom with compressed air (not sure how else to do that). I'm still having the problems with the green dots and...

It's not overclocked at all. I'll try blowing some compressed air in every opening I can find and see if that solves the problem. Thanks for everyone's input.
