Sometimes when i just play games, or roam around, my screen starts to glitch. By glitch i mean it suddenly goes split, with lines. When i took a screen shot when it was glitched. The screen shot was perfectly fine. The desktop looked like usual but the screen was still glitched !

It sounds like your video card is failing. This may be a driver issue, or a thermal issue.
Install HW Monitor and play your most intensive game, for about 20 minutes with HW Monitor running. After that, post a screen shot of HW Monitor on this thread.
CPUID - System & hardware benchmark, monitoring, reporting

This could also be your monitor, try using another monitor to see if the problem goes away.
 
This is what my screen looks like when it glitches.

This is what it looks like with the HWMonitor . Note: I took this screenshoot while it was glitched.
