During video playback and also while playing certain games certain areas of the screen are becoming pixelated and it is usually in a fairly bright pink colour.
I initially thought it was a loose connector which I noticed but I fixed that problem and it still occurs.
I hope someone can help with this as i've run out of ideas to sort it out.

Perfect except for my video playback problems.
Plays all games great which surprises me seeing it is 3+ years old now.
I doubt that it will but I hope it lasts me another 3 years, Even if I do have to add more RAM and most definately another GFX Card.,

Have you tried reseating all the RAM and the graphics card - there is one thing I would target for sure. Take it out and let the onboard graphics work the monitor.
That is if you don't mind me saying so a fairly basic card too Steve I had one myself and I just upgraded to a NVidia GeForce GTX 650 and it is brilliant.
I had a fair few problems with the ATi stuff and ma not going back in any hurry. Just as a matter of interest have you done anything in the Catalyst Control Centre - I did find re downloading that helped my problem for while.
AMD Catalyst < this is for the 5000x series cards.

Yep Steve mate it might be an idea to give the slot/s a bit of a clean good what a little reseating can do often happens with RAM.
Personally I cut a strip of an old credit card about 5 - 10mm wide round the corners off put some lint free cloth round the end (that microweave cloth for windows - fluff less - is ideal) apply some alcohol of a sort (not much) and very gently swipe down the slots with the thin end of the cut card to clean the crud build up.
Do the same with the sticks / card contacts too
