is there a way to tell if the issue is with the signal the card is
receiving or something internal to the computer?  I'm just having a
hard time understanding why this would randomly start happening and
the cable line looks to be clean?

It also seems to occur more during heavy i/o load, though this is more
a casual observance. When all three of my HD recorders are going it
seems to be more of an issue than when just one is.
