TF2 Maps flashing white?

Image You can see where the discolored road strip is, but it's hard to get pictures of the game doing this because it strobes really fast. Any idea what's causing this?

Would it be possible to record this in action with a video recording program? A demo file won't work in this case since demos run off the engine and therefore on a correctly working computer it won't show issues.

A couple theories:

Texture error: could've happened when you installed a mod or something. Try verifying your TF2 install and see if there's a bad file in there.
Shearing: A case that occurs if you have the game attempting to display more frames per second than your monitor/graphics card can actually display; though the cases of shearing i've seen were far more pronounced and not just a flickering patch. Enable VSync if it's not to see if this fixes anything. If Vsync is already enabled, then shearing is not your issue.

I validated the files. They're good.
I never have VSync on.
It stops when fraps starts to record it ._.

It likely is shearing then, Fraps will limit your FPS to 60 when it records. When I had a similar issue I found it stopped when I enabled Fraps recording. Turn on Vsync and see what happens.
