        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 ;)
