Check the system for viruses...
If it is during boot-up, that is during the initial driver loads you could have a corrupted AUTOEXEC.BAT file which will simply display any corruption to the screen.
If this is just prior to windows starting and then disappears it is a slow refresh of the graphics card, you may well find a driver update cures this.
I think the best thing you could do is provide more information.
When did this start, and did any event precede it and some basics like what operating system are you using and at what point does the problem occur?

Only on-board AGP is there, nothing else.
I have not installed any new devices or OS to my system.

Your video could be out of order (bad memory on this board). Can you make a try with another video card ?

During boot :
If my opinion you have a problem with your video card ... clean connector with a ink eraser.
Make a try with another video card if you can ...
With Win9x :
Reinstall drivers for your video card and direct X.
