Waves on my computer?

Question

Specs. Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3P, 3gb ram, e7400 oc'd to 3.0 I'd like to add that I've had it oc'd to 3.5 before and ran that stable for about 2months and Have never had over heating issues with my computer. I've ran orthos and have cpu-z aswell and have never got a overheating issue., xfx 4850 512mb stock speed with fan turned to 75 percent, corsair 650 watt, all in a nzxt tempest evo.   During gaming and scrolling through internet pages or moving my screen while watching you tube. I get waves that are thin but for a moment will break up the screen, During gaming I play allot of cod4 and cod waw, I can play cod4 maxed out  and get 91 fps max and 70 80ish normal, on a 22 inch monitor set at 1680x1050  which is a recommend settings, I keep it on that on everything I play. But not matter if I play games with all AA off and no AF and all settings to low, or everything maxed out, When running, or close to walls or tin fences when I look left and right or move I get lines moving on the walls and etc. Its been this way for awhile and I just now decided to try to find answers for it. Even when my windows 7 starts up and I log into my account the switching over from the log in screen to my wallpaper I get lines aswell. Joeyl_2007@yahoo.com is my email if you wanna write me and or need anymore information on anything.. Thank you and God Bless.

It's called screen tearing.

You'll get it if you don't have vsync enabled, as the FPS from your card differs from your monitor.

Have you subscribed to the RSS feed from Gigabyte home site...for drivers I
mean...that's one of the better boards/w the Japanese capacitors and on a    couple of occasions I've heard of them (the cheaper kind ; not the ones on your board) giving hard to trace problems, but sense you have the better ones...
When I read the initial question, I first thought of what happens when the G-card 
has not been given it's drivers but the onboard is dis-abled...I'm sure you know 
horizontal ripples that run up and down the screen when you scrole...but having read what the symptoms actually are...I'm just trying to think what might cause 
them...and the last thing that comes to mind is corrupted Ram...and you don't need to run a game to try it as you talked about the sign in screen etc.  so take out each Ram card one at a time and see if anything improves...
