Have you checked (if you have it) also the VRam and VRMs temps?, if you dont have it try to lower a bit the speed of the GPU core and VRam, as they sound similar to corruption due heat/overcloking of the GPU.

Think that the 4850 was quite older (and a generate a lot of heat) maybe the thermal compound is deteriorated and/or the fan dont work properly.

Only on bios and starting screen?, could be an error of the monitor with non native resolutions?

Maybe are you using a Tv as monitor?

Anyway could check if with 1024x768 or 1280x1024 resolutions you get the red dots or lines?
