I felt my video card and it doesnt feel hot at all. I did over clock it but it was all going fine until today when i started doing this in other games. What is it?

Does it stop after a quick restart or do you need the pc off for awhile?

If it goes after a quick reboot it could just be a ram problem. Otherwise you are overheating your gfx. Feeling the card is no indication of how hot it really is.

Your video card should be hot if its in a game. Perhaps the heatsink has lost contact.

Underclock.

Speed fan checks everything out. Doesn't say anything is too hot. When it happened the first time i just quit the game and joined another and it worked fine. Then it did it 4 hours later.

Btw when i first OC'd it it was working just fine no hicups no artifacting or anything. Now its just starting to do this. It's only happened twice so it may go away. HOPEFULLY (NOT)

Judging by the HUD and Pistol, It's "Halo - Combat Evolved", for the PC.

That is artifacting, caused from an over heating or unstable graphics card. Get your full load temps with speed fan or whatever, and try returning to stock clocks.

Does it happen with any other game?

If it was artifacting, why would it only show up on the 2d text?

Tried reinstalling and repatching?

Look at the second picture, around the top and middle. The foreground of an environment and a banshee are pretty effed up. That is not 2d text.

I'm a Halo PC/Xbox fan and i've never seen that before...  it's got to be hardware/driver related.

How long ago did you overclock before this happened? You could try running astress test to see if that point to anything specific..

This app is supposed to be good - might be worht a try

Some sys info would be good also the level to which you have o/c'd as well.

Should give us a better idea of whats going on

Artifacts can affect anything on your screen... it's not limited to complex textures...

I've had artifacts where my gun would turn purple but NOTHING else would be affected.
