I'd recommend to first verify whether it's a hardware problem by trying an
older Haiku revision (to be on the safe side rather go back a few more
weeks/months than you think). If you also have issues with that version
and didn't back then, a hardware problem is most likely.
Otherwise it's obviously a Haiku regression. Depending on how long it
takes you to verify whether an image does or doesn't have the issue,
bisecting the revision range to track down the revision that introduced
the problem, would be a relatively easy and very helpful way. Covering the
last 1000 revisions (pretty exactly three months) takes about 10 steps. If
you start with a narrower range -- e.g. ignoring the relatively busy last
few days/weeks -- you can maybe save one step. Using the nightlies should
save some time (a two-partition setup is recommended in this case -- well,
actually in either case).
Other than that the KDL stack traces would be helpful info.
