I am using an XFX Radeon HD 6570 DirectX 11 HD-657X-CNF2 2GB 128-Bit DDR3 video card. And I was originaly able to setup my dual monitors with an extended display, but after a day or 2 the monitor using an HDMI cable starts to have little white dots flashing across portions of the monitor. Then it will randomly turn off and back on again. But if I make it a mirror screen instead it displays just fine and has no problems. I want to have the display extended.

I am running windows 7 with the above video card and 650w 12v power supply. I have switched out the above video card with another almost identical card (built by HIS instead) with the same problem. I have also switched out the hdmi cable. ASUS M4A88T-M AM3 AMD 880G HDMI Micro ATX AMD Motherboard is my current motherboard.
 
Solution
If cable and video card did not fix the issue, try different drivers, try running on one RAM stick at a time, and try a different monitor, maybe just swap connections between yours and see if issue stays with monitor.
