Seriously. Grammar is your friend. I can't read your posts at all. I have no idea what your problem is.

Please dont post like this
its extremely annoying and very hard
to read i have no idea what you are saying and tend to just stop reading
your sentences half way through

Nah it's fine,I was trying to hard to make it clear what the hell happened to my dreamcast.

I got the sega jumppack today,Works fine.
I bought another dreamcast,it was taking to long.It has the same problems :?
I think my full hd tv has trouble with it,Because on my different tv it has fullscreen.

Still both of the dreamcasts have pixel dots under the swirl logo
The startup on both of them is not what it suppose to be. Remember you hear like 4 popping sounds after the swirl,I just hear one. The cable's are fine.
Last thing,In the first level of sonic adventure 1 part of the level it plays really shaky for a moment,This also happens to both of them. Both of them read well.The other one does read more quiet though. :|
Could anyone confirm if the shaky part is normal and everyone has it?

Is my grammatica better this time? most dutch people are terrible at this.

Ik denk dat je grammar bedoelt. Grammatica is nederlands... lol

En serieus man, geen hoofdletters na een komma. Een spatie na een komma. En punten op 't einde van je zin.

Thanks, ik zal het onthouden.

I have confirmed that the pixel dots appear randomly.:? Some times they appear, some times they don't. This is with vga and scart. Maybe more people have this issue i dunno.. Is sonic adventure supposed to play slower for a few seconds after 10 minutes? Cause it keeps doing this everytime. It should be smooth, not slow and laggy.

I don't think the bios is the problem. The jump pack probably shorted something on the motherboard. You could just buy a new motherboard. Soldering in a new bios chip is a pain, and you need to boot the old bios to flash the new chip anyway...
I'm afraid this is what may have happend! This occured once recently on one of my DC consoles. Your mother board is fried. The image problem is a result of this and has nothing to do with your VGA setup. My suggestion, buy a other DC unit and keep the one that messed up for spare parts (particularly for the perfectly working GD rom Drive that it still has). That is how I saved another dying DC about month ago. By replacing parts from my first busted console :) Good luck man.
