I second other posts here. If it's now happening in other games, the graphics card has popped.

If you say lack of power will cause crashes and instablity, only dead a gfx or HOT gfx will cause artifacts.<br /> Ii cant be dead, i just ran 3d Mark 06 and Crysis PS demo for on hour now, with case open, on its side like the good ol desktop days.</p> <p> </p> <p>That nasty chip on mobo, I thought would be onboard GFX only. But cuase theres no other it might be southbridge and every other bridge on mobo, controlling the lot.</p> <p> </p> <p>The bottom line is, I think i need cooling.<br /> You will agree, when you find out, I only have 4 fans in my PC situation.<br /> 2 in PSU, 1 on GFX and 1 on CPU.<br /> Im I not cool enough?<br /> That onboard chip is bloody hot. Its only got a 0.75 cm heatsink on it.<br /> Too make matters worse its black.
