I got my 9800 Pro OC'd to 430/370 with a Koolance water cooler on the GPU, not generating any artifcats, and those frozencpu monster copper ramsinks on the ram. When I first boot, and not every time, all these little lines will move across the screen.. UNTIL, i click or do anything that makes video movement, this will only happen then right after booting and never any other time.. What causes this? I'm just sorta paranoid I dont think it's an actual problem cause I can't recreate it in 3dmark or anything.. Is it cause Rage3d applies the video OC at that time or what??

That's what I would guess too.

Set your max OC to something a little lower and see if the glitch is still there. If it continues, remove Rage3D and use ATiTool instead. Set to the same clocks as your current max OC to check for the problem.
