Attack of the horizontal lines

First, I want to thank everyone that helped me with my other problems that I've asked about.

That said, I have a new and more exciting problem: Blinking Horizontal lines. I did a google search on this problem and I didn't really come up with much. A post on a forum I read said it's possible this could be caused by a bad video card. This wouldn't surprised me at all really. The card in this PC is an SiS 530 or something like that.

Here's what my xorg config tells me:

To the best of my knowledge all this information is correct. I have honestly no idea what to do because I've tried changing the settings and it hasn't had any effect.
