Graphics glitch with newer age games

[Triclzz]

hi recently i tried to play World of Warcraft and Warcraft 3 and whenever i play these two games my screen goes nuts and starts taking images on the screen stretching them across the screen and flickering and i was wondering if anyone could help me find the cause of this. Thanks

Old really old, 7 years old in fact i dont know all of them but my graphics card is a nvidia geforce 6800 gs, AMD athlon 64 processor 3200+ and thats about it =/ also a LG flatron wide plug and play monitor

That's some nasty graphical corruption. Its hard to say but I'm guessing the graphics card is having hardware issues or possibly overheating.

Can use the old Nvidia tool to check temps or lots of other free tools:
