Constant replacing textures
Sounds like the graphics card may be overheating. - Check the cooling fan is clear of dust and is rotating. - You may need to add another case fan if your system temeratures are high - especially if the card doesn't expel hot air out of the case.
Could also be that it isn't getting sufficient power.
What is your PSU rated at and are you using a seperate rail from your system connectors - cheap generic PSUs often cannot provide sufficient power on the right rails even if they are rated higher than better quality ones.

For the past...who knows, months, I've had constant graphical glitches where full map, character, and UI textures are replaced with odd pictures that are either icons, chopped up pictures, or a little bit of both. A simple /reloadgfx would solve the problem temporarily until I moved on into another zone. And for a while now, I didn't even care until a friend of mine re-joined CoH and he stumbled upon the same problem and started to complain. Both of us use ATI cards, his being the 5600 and mine the 5800 series. I believe there is something wrong with our settings but I don't know if anyone else has stumbled upon these problems before and solved them which is my esteemed hope before I start altering things I'll forget about later.
