I am thinking that it might be the graphics card, which is unfortunately no covered under warranty at the time. It is an EVGA Nvidia 8800 GTS pre-overclocked. It is not an overheating problem, temps are within normal range for the CPU and GPU. As you can see I play on a fairly big monitor and I'm thinking it might have just been taking its toll on the card. The card is close to 1 1/2 years old.
