Would a bad mobo or cpu cause visual artifacts?

I want to give this one last time before I run out and buy another mobo and CPU. A few months back I overclocked my AMD Athlon to 3gigs with everything running stable. I clocked it slowly up to that speed running all memory and cpu tests. One day I get a crash and my video is glitchy in windows as in when I drag windows around they span across the screen. It plays games but if you move to fast it glitches a bit.
I ran memtest and changed the ram, tried a different video card. Reinstalled windows a while back and right now I have linux on there. Nothing has changed... Fuck, even a new PSU. All that is left is the mobo and cpu. Is there anyway to tell if it is the mobo or cpu? I ran cpu tests and it past but I dunno..
I just had to give it one last try guys before I spend 200+ on mobo and cpu..

What are your systems specs(cpu/mobo/vga/PSU etc)?
Have you removed the overclock?
It never overheated as I OCed it slowly and watched temps. I have a gigabyte AM2 S seriers bored. 2 gigs of gskill ram and a 7600gt video card, Corsair 520 watt psu.
