I have a friend with a Commando and a 8800 GTS and it does the exact same thing. It's the video card. Nothing to worry about. It won't affect stability or performance in any way (that I know of). My friend is running 3.6 GHz on his C2D E6600 and also managed to get a decent overclock on his RAM and video card.

I don't know why it's doing this, but I can tell you that to test for this, you'll notice that if you replace the video card with an older model your BIOS won't be "sluggish" anymore.
