Huh? If you are talking about an 8500 DV then
you should better change headline next time...

i have seen something like this in other logs but it was not critical.
Seems the checksum algorithm differs or someone altered the BIOS data
without taking care for adjusting the checksum values once again.

dont drive your monitor to the max clock if it does behave nice there.

Not related at all.

try reducing upper limits of hsync and vsync values in your config file.
try disabling DDC support if you can find something related.
