Holy Crap...
I am not, but I have heard of others with some such as this. Try to update your driver if you haven't done so.

Could be the video card going out or overheating. When you updated drivers did you use a driver cleaner to flush the old ones? If not, try that.
It is known that there are an infinite number of worlds, simply because there is an infinite amount of space for them to be in. However, not every one of them is inhabited. Therefore, there must be a finite number of inhabited worlds. Any finite number divided by infinity is as near to nothing as makes no odds, so the average population of all the planets in the Universe can be said to be zero. From this it follows that the population of the whole Universe is also zero, and that any people you may meet from time to time are merely the products of a deranged imagination.
I first thought overheating also. Is it significantly hotter in your gaming area today compared to last night? Summer brings out all of the over-heating issues.

Already tried driver cleaner. I know it's not a heating issue since it happens at the exact same point every time regardless of what or whether anything else is running, also happened back on test (which I didn't think anything of because it's test) but doesn't I get absolutely no errors while doing anything else, even thrashing it through benchmarkers.

Nope, slightly colder if anything. See above post though. Happens at exactly the same point each time, doesn't happen no matter what else I do.

Have you tried to enter the game in safe mode? (there is a check box next to the "i agree" button of the EULA).

OK, I've just tried getting in in Safe Mode and that seems to work. Remains to be seen if that actually sorts it out.
That probably means one of the graphics settings is causing the problem. Someone else might have better advice. FSAA seems to be a common culprit though.

Managed to log in in Safe Mode but can't adjust the graphics settings to anything acceptable (tells me to restart game, I restart game, it restarts in exactly the same situation, ignoring any changes I've made).
This is weird. Trying to log in now (after Safe Mode but without changing anything at all), everything goes fine. FSAA was already turned off, BTW.
I need a drink...
I think safe mode ignores the graphics settings. I don't know if you can change your normal settings through it. Someone else could help I am sure though (since graphics settings are stored clientside, there may well be a file you can delete to default them).

Sermon, I have no idea what booting into Safe Mode did but it seems to have fixed things. I've tried quitting out and reloading and even rebooted and reloading and it's fine now. Thanks for your help everyone.
Safe mode corrects your graphics settings, you can then change your settings.
If you didn't, it just picked up your settings when it loaded and fixed whatever was wrong. I've seen stuff like that fix issues in the past such as enabling debug mode or booting a machine into safe mode... it just forces it to recognize settings that it was missing before sometimes. *shrug*
Downloaded i17 last night, created a demon summoner, played for a while with no problems. I try to play today and I get through the updater and log-in fine but as soon as I get to character selection, I get this massive graphics glitch (screenie below) that persists even if I log in. I've tried updating graphics drivers, etc. The only thing I can think of now is downloading a fresh copy of the client but I'd rather not spend the next two days waiting for it to download. Any ideas?
