White pixels flashing on objects.

[Radioactivelad]

I've been having a strange problem in Skyrim that has started recently.

 

My Gpu is an Nvidia gtx 570, I've been running things on Ultra, 45-60 fps throughout.

 

As I'm walking around, I'll look at certain objects and see these white pixels flashing along the edges of terrain and objects, primarily doors. At first I thought something in my computer was getting hot, but I ran a temperature monitor side-by-side and they were nothing noteworthy.

 

This isn't a quirk with the lighting as the pixels are always* solid white, I can be walking down a path at night with no lightsource and these bright white pixels will flash along the edges of bumps in the road.

 

*There is one instance where the pixels are red. It happens on the front end of smelters right around the level of the lava/fire

 

The place where this effect is most noticeable is the interior side of Whiterun's gate. (The exterior side doesn't have any problems, causing me even more confusion about this issue.) I can look at the door from various angles and see many of these pixels, often forming large lines, appear and disappear all along the creases and edges of the gate.

 

 

The problem is apparently related to Anti-Aliasing, as turning it off causes the problem to cease. Though I can still see a single white pixel in the middle of WR gate's door handles. (Or on any other door that uses those types of handles for that matter.)

 

I've tried re-installing the game/gpu drivers. I've tried using older drivers, I've tried using a default ini, I've tried fooling around with all of the nvidia cp settings, and I've even tried cleaning out my hdmi cables and inputs with a little compressed air.

 

Anyone know of a way to fix this (very distracting) problem?

Bump please? Does no one have any idea why this is happening?

 

I've recently acquired a new graphics card and this is still happening.
