I'm having this same problem. I've tried different drivers, clean installs, safe mode uninstalls and reinstalls etc... what is happening is you are probably hitting an infinite loop in the video. A completely temporary fix for me has been to minimize eq2 and bring it back up and it's fine for a little while again. I'm starting to think more and more it was something from the patch because I've seen at least 4 other posts about "garbled text" and changing colors on displays and 2 second lags for no reason at all. If you are running an Nvidia card do a google search for nv4 loop fix which is a small executable that is "supposed" to fix this. It did for me for a while and I'd still get the 2 second lag, but at least the video wasn't getting all green or psychedelic or blue or garbled...

I'm hoping someone at SOE will consider this issue coming from the game instead of the drivers/hardware.
