Those photos aren't really clear enough. It looks like the kind of corruption you might expect with memory going bad but unless it's zoomed in a lot, it looks more like character-based display mode (CGA or something) than what I'd expect to see in a bitmapped display if the memory has got corrupted.

Oh bugger, oh well good excuse to buy new part . If I wanted to spend nearly £200 would 7850 be ideal choice what people would recommend!

You only need around £170-£180 for a good HD7850. Bump up to £230 will get you a HD7950.

Yeah that's boned. Potentially due to heat, so make sure your airflow is good.
