Odd dots on mobility 9000

Any idea how I can get rid of these?

That checkering is artifacting, which means either video card instability, or some problem with the video card.

Is the card being run at stock speeds? Is it installed in a laptop, or a desktop? Do you get this artifacting in all of your games and 3D programs with this card, or does it only occur in a few of your games and 3D programs?

I would start by updating your card's drivers to the newest version, then seeing if that fixes the problem. This might do the trick: https://support.ati.com/ics/support/default.asp?deptID=894&task=knowledge&folderID=27

If software updates don't cut it, and your card is installed in a laptop, the next path to take is an RMA ('Return Materials Authorization') with the company which makes your laptop. Give them a call, let them know what's happening, and send the unit in for repair. Servicing laptops by yourself isn't a good idea in my experience, as it usually voids the warranty, which is actually important with a laptop.

If your card is being used in your desktop computer, and software doesn't fix things, you will want to see if it is a heat-related issue. Check out the card's PCB right behind the card's core, and see how hot it is to the touch. With poor airflow, or a passive heatsink on the card, the card's core may well be getting too hot. Adding a fan to your case will help if this is the case, as will aftermarket cooling if you choose to use it.

If heat is likely the issue, I would reccomend that you start with adding a small fan blowing over the card, to see if that fixes the problem. If it doesn't, I would personally RMA the card rather then strap aftermarket cooling onto it - hardware that doesn't work properly at stock speeds needs to be RMA'ed, and should not be modified or overclocked, which will void your warranty and any chance of getting a replacement.
