I got exactly the same problem with asus mobo and xfx 7900gt.. The only solution for stability so far is to use 16bit color depth.. everything else failed although I didnt try other drivers than the latest Nvidia ones or the win7 original.
I also manage to recover temporarily by unplugging the monitor and connect it again. Im sure it has something to do with timings but I cant touch them cause the problem especially appears when you mess with the Nvidia settings.
Tried two monitors LG and NEC both LCD...
EDIT:
a) The problem becomes scarce when Sidebar (Gadgets) is disabled.
b) Always appears when closing ACDSee v3.
I reinstalled windows 7 and noticed that the refresh rate is set to 60Hz with MS drivers. Yesterday (with latest nvidia drivers installed) it wouldn't change to anything else than 59Hz. Im worried that if I install nvidia drivers the problem will get worse.
