Yeah I had been getting a more minor version then that, but it stopped. Now everything else is glitchy on me.

Unfortunately, that's a sign of hardware problems. Either overheating or other hardware failure with your card. You could try cleaning out the fan on your card if it has one. It's possible the only solution will be a new video card.

Like already said, it's generally a sign of worse things to come.

The last time I saw something like that "first" hand was when my best friend's graphics card melted itself, part of his motherboard and some of the power supply cables.

Of course it's not too likely yours will be that bad.. it could simply be a problem of overheating.

Check nothing is overheating (60 to 80 degrees Celsius for a graphics card is generally as high as it should go) and that your power supply is adequate (a little trickier, I've always gone for overkill so someone else had better give advice on that).

One side uses mind police and will "disappear" you and the other uses poison gas and bombs on civilians. Hamidon? He'll just have a tree eat you. Much simpler. If we're all going to be oppressed and/or killed by someone, it might as well be the walking trees. At least they don't speak in annoying code or doublespeak. They just devour you.

Yup, classic overheating. Open up your case, clean out all the dust and make sure the computer is in a well ventilated area.
