Checked everything, Brandon. The output from the Canopus Storm card is absolutely clean. No breakup, no noise, no streaks. Suspect the video card now. It's a PCI Nvidia GeForce FX 5600. Not sure 128 or 256. Should work ! ! ! The NVidia is on the same IRQ as the 1394 card, but the same symptoms occurred before I installed the 1394 card for HD last year. As I said, the only time it exhibits video noise is during the hard drive access, which is controlled by a SCSI 3Ware Raid contoller, which is NOT on the same IRQ.
I changed all kinds of setting every which way - rebooted a dozen or so times, and to no avail. Just have to endure, I guess, until I can build another unit from scratch. Unless you know something about the NVidia cards which I don't....!!!!
Meanwhile, again thanks much.
Best,
Alan
