Anyone else seen these types of corruption?

Ok I have several examples to present here

I would say there are three distinct cases of corruption that I've seen.
The first is some of the corruption that only happens on the center screen every so often and is a corruption of the cursor. This Lennovo 2440x is connected by DisplayPort. Happens across all applications. What I see is dependent on what form the cursor takes.

For the second type of corruption we go to the left monitor when the corruption is happening on the center monitor I also get some corruption on the left monitor which is a BenQ2400WD connected by DVI. Notice the corruption of the top of the Dirt2 shortcut but nothing else!

For the third type of corruption every pixel seems to be effected. There is a grid pattern to it, it looks like there is pixel crossover where all the pixels are rendered but a little to far this way or that in reoccurring bands. The overall effect is that it makes everything blurry with lots of noise. The side monitors were unaffected, adjusting DisplayPort connector did nothing, but a restart made it go away. This type of corruption can really only be appreciated in motion so here it is in video form. First Firefox then Modern Warfare.

Updated Bios http://techpowerup.com/vgabios/index.php?page=1&architecture=ATI&manufacturer=&model=HD+5870&interface=PCI-E&memSize=1024. I also updated to this catalyst http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?t=313969 as others with the same configuration more or less were reporting good things. The corruption on the dirt2 shortcut went away...for now, but the entire screen corruption on center monitor is back. A restart makes it go away now going on 2 days without this type of corruption.
 
Download msi afterburner, load defaults, then download amd gpu tool and run that while it's open. Next, set clocks 1 mhz above default if not overclocking under amd gpu tool.
 
Well I'm going on 5 days with no corruption after the bios update and 8.70 package catalysts. If I see the problem again I'll try it thanks for the response.
