What are the dots like?

are the static and across the screen?

If so, could be some dodgy RAM in your graphics card.

might be a faulty grphisc card tehre,

does it do the same thing if you boot using a live cd then try and play media?

Yes...the prob remains then also

unfortuatly it apears that the problem is caused by faulty hardware...

try using a differnt screen

if the problem is still there its most likly the graphics card,
