When ever I render with mental ray in maya it puts these spots all over my models and I cant get rid of them.

Low render settings? Wrong file format on your textures?

What would be a good file format? I'm using .TGA right now for textures with no bump maps or anything on them.

I'm fairly new to using mental ray so..

Looks like you're getting arealight undersampling artifacts , try lowing down your contrast treshold in your globals or upping your arealight highsamples low samples and high sample limit

If your using depth map shadows try turning the filter size to 0. If that isn't the problem then you probably have a graphics card issue.
