          doh!

          gpu_mem=128 should be deleted IMO.

                @justhoeber have you tried these settings?

                hdmi_group=1
                hdmi_mode=16
                

                If i recall correctly i think i have actually seen this before but i forgot how i fixed it or created the problem.

                Maybe set this too:

                config_hdmi_boost=4

                        @justhoeber Never seen anything like it. Does it do this on clean install of retropie from an image?

                            @justhoeber if it does it again with a new pi then you may have a bad TV ;)
