Windows 10: Brown disks appear at top of display and Windows almost freezes

Has anyone seen this before? Google didn't find anything for "brown disks at top of display in Windows". I'm not interested in troubleshooting this problem myself. I'm asking out of hope someone has knowledge of this.I'll be using my Surface Pro 6 and for no pattern I have identified it will freeze up and brown disks about a half-inch in diameter will appear at the very top of the screen in irregular spacing. They may move, appear, disappear or remain static. In the meantime, Windows is almost frozen. There is no cursor shown. Cursor keys don't work. Touchscreen doesn't react to finger

:)

I suggest you run rthdribl > http://www.daionet.gr.jp/~masa/archives/rthdribl_1_2.zip
Increase the window size step by step and watch your vga temps permanently.
What happens?
If it crashes, run at stock speeds as suggested before and retry.

P.S.: When your system locks, does the display signal turn off after a time?
Stuttering sound or no sound at all when freezing?
What X1800XT model do you own exactly?
