Perhaps this may be your answer?

"The reason the slider is not all the way to the left in its default position is that with some Catalyst versions sometimes there are 1 pixel sized “artifacts” detected which are in fact not artifacts but driver bugs/optimizations(?)"

Hmm, I don't know your system specs, but if you have overclocked your card, maybe you should try lowering your clock speeds?

I get the yellow dots, at stock speed, at reboot, at overclock, and rarely none at all. all games work great though, no artifacts. not oclocking GPU at moment, waiting for Zalman VF900.

I have a 7900GT and get lots of yellow dots when scanning for artifacts but no reported errors. I have tried to play around with the slider but makes no difference. Is the 7900GT not compatible or what gives?

ATI Tool doesn't have all the bugs worked out for overclocking Nvidia cards yet, especially in the 7 series. It just hasn't been able to do it long enough, plus most people are using Beta versions and it is important to remember they are Beta for a reason. I don't know what card or ATI tool version you are using Target, it would help if you would tell us. You may want to try a different version of ATI tool depending on what you have. I think Beta 13 has problems with detecting artifacts with quite a few cards.

I think I have the same problem as you. Sometimes when I scan for artifacts, ATITool doesn't detect them, but it's fixed instantly when I restart ATITool.
