update graphics drivers

May be your video card dying or overheating.

Video card is artifacting. Happens. If its a Radeon you should use the drivers that came with your cd. Ive heard ATI has had minor artifacting issues with the drivers. Also, it could be your graphics card overheating. If you have OC'd the video card maybe you should return it to normal settings. Hope that helps.
