New rig - Requesting Tech Support

Actually, a H77 mobo should have onboard graphics, supplied by the ivybridge processor itself. However, it disables itself if a real graphics card is detected.

Ok, monitor aside, I've got another problem. This one is isolated to Team Fortress 2, and even stranger it's only happening (so far) in Dustbowl. Periodically while traversing dustbowl I see horizontal bars flash across my screen seemingly at random in random positions. The bars appear to be the skybox color on top and the tan rock color on the bottom. So far Dustbowl is the only place I see it happening. I tried to record it happening with Fraps but, stranger still, while Fraps was actively recording it wasn't happening. What could be causing this? Is there a video setting that it defaulted to that might be causing it? Here's my advanced video options page in case it helps; it defaulted to my system specs:

EDIT: It's not just Dustbowl, it's seemingly everywhere. Had it happening on Goldrush and Turbine as well.

EDIT AGAIN: Found it, Vsync. Turns out the graphics issue I was experiencing is called "tearing". TF2 was running at 300 frames per second, five times what my monitor can actually support (or the eyes can even interpret from what I understand). Vsync restricted it to 60 and everything was fine. Didn't notice any difference either.
