Have I broken my IGP?

I was doing some overclocking today and I suddenly noticed that my graphics have gone weird. When I move windows around the desktop I notice artefacts around the edges. I have never seen this before. I tried to play some 1080p video and it could not handle it. Lots of horizontal line artefacts around fast movement and it had to keep stopping the audio for the video to catch up.

I have seen this before in my really underpowered laptop but my IGP should be able to handle this easily.

I have tried resetting all the bios options to stock and that has made it better but not completely.

I cant think what it will be because I was not even overclocking the graphics, only the CPU, and none of my voltages were all that high.

The only thing that it might be is if my prime blend test caused the IGP to overheat for a long period (the IGP sink is right next to my cpu) and this has damaged it. Does that sound possible?

What have I done? Anyone got any suggestions? :(
 
no. And not in still use either. Only around movement.

Also the windows 7 graphics have stopped working. When I hover over an icon on the task bar it does not give me a preview of the window any more, just the name of the program in text.
 
Try safe mode, if its the same in there i'd call the IGP shot. Otherwise try reinstalling your drivers from safe mode.
 
Yahoo! :D I have fixed it. Thank god. Too much overclocking is making me jump into thinking that everything must be a hardware problem.

It was a malfunction in the mirror display drivers that Logmein installs.

Thanks for your help :)
