Recent on booting my ARMX6 gives a weird green speckled effect.

This happens after the ROM initialisation and whilst it is waiting for the

Once it boots in to the desk top it is OK.

*Status shows Mode/WimpMode set to Auto.

If I change this to 31 and boot then then speckled effect before the
desktop disappears.

This has only recently happened in the last week and with no recent
changes to the machine.

It could indicate the machine isn't reading the EDID information from the monitor, and is defaulting to a mode timings the monitor isn't entirely happy with.

Try unplugging the video cable at both ends, and ensure it is reseated firmly.

Try out a range of desktop resolutions, and if they are all OK, then its probably nothing to worry about.
