Hi All - its been a while since I've posted here - i haven't needed to since Assassin was so good at getting my HTPC up and running (i'm sure everyone has seen his thread). My HTPC has been running strong for a year and a half now, but lately I have been expirencing a small problem - at the top and sides of my plasma screen (Samsung, connected via HDMI) I am getting small boarders of grey. (see picture)

The boarders will rotate (i.e. show up on the left side, then top and left side, then top and right side, then bottom and right side, etc) and are particularly annoying when I am trying to watch a movie in full screen. If I hit the 'display' button on the TV remote to change the display ratio, it will clear up but then after 30 to 120 seconds the lines will show up again.
This issue does not occur when I am watching cable (via my TVs other HDMI port). I have also tried each port on the TV and multiple HDMI cables, so I have to assume the issue is coming from the HTPC. I can give further details on the 'guts' of my computer if necessary.
I did some searching on the forums but could not find much (usually just people with aspect ratio issues or older threads about HD/non-HD). Anyone have any ideas??
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks again to everyone that makes this board so great.
