Hmm, that is usually symptomatic of slow graphics card, but the Intel
graphics chip set should be perfectly OK.

It may be that your particular combination of chipset and driver is
manifesting a bug - or it might be bad hardware.

Try booting a live distro - such as Fedora (other distros are
available). It won't affect your installed data, but it will provide a
different driver to try.
