Graphics artifacting

Whenever my miner is running I get artifacting on my taskbar and the top (where your browser tabs would be) of my screen. It tends to be more extreme around the taskbar, looks like a bunch of black squares/lines twitcing and they'll increase over time if I'm not actively using the computer to the point that the icons on my taskbar are mostly blacked out. If I'm actively using it the artifacting keeps to a minimum for some reason. Also if I drag my mouse across the taskbar/top, everything will clear out and I don't get any artifacting in any full screen applications or anywhere on the actual screen (which is why I've been able to deal with it). If I screenshot it doesn't display the artifacts, but if you take a screenshot of your taskbar and just scribble all over in black that's kind of what it looks like when it gets to the point that it blacks the icons out.

I'm using a 7950 at factory stock 900mhz, I've had this card for ~3 months now and it is completely fine in games and stress test software, Heaven/Kombuster/OCCT. I'm on 13.1 and I'm thinking this could be a driver issue, any thoughts?
