Only recently this has been happening, but on every game it would load fine for a moment, looking nice, then bam the screen goes mental, all games glitch like the picture below, before freezing then it's alt + f4 time. I returned my GPU and CPU back to stock speeds...still not working, I did update the nvidia driver recently, re-downloaded it as I thought it was bugged. Didnt help. Please advise!

Just download one from the nvidia site and uninstall the current one and reboot before installing the older one, should be covered for a year, what make is it ?
 
MSI. Tried using device manager hoping to roll back driver, it doesnt even give me the option! I cannot find the last driver before the latest one on nvidia :/
 
Can u list the full pc specs plz including OS version.
Edit: This is what most ppl find the most stable driver, go into add and remove programs and remove the Nvidia physX software and Nvidia update, then remove the nvidia graphics driver and it will ask u to reboot, then use that new one i linked u to but choose custom install and uncheck nvidia update, the 3D vision stuff and also the HD audio crap, then at the bottom check clean install, it will ask u to reboot again so do this and test.
This driver is for 64 bit.

Damn! How do I roll back drivers??

I also ordered the card from OCUK in september 2010. Would they still cover it?

Yes, to put it bluntly, to september this year. ;) (unless it was B-grade)

This is a sign of core failure, but at the same time, this can also often be seen in DirectX problems/Driver problems/Game incompatibility. Make sure to rule those out.

I would personally start off by running the error check function of OCCT, if nothing shows it's probably not the card.

If it helps, I've seen the same artifacts alt tabbing Far Cry 2, on two different cards. :)
 
Its strange because I've been playing games like Crysis 2, Bulletstorm etc which require a lot without issues, then it just went. Whats strange (because my old 4850 failed big time) is this only happens once past the menu of games. I'm guessing thats because it doesn't require much power for the menu?

how long do I run the test for?
 
Currently installing the driver you suggested, another interesting turn out. Msi afterburner now says I have no supported device lol..
 
Ah, well older driver fully installed. Tried loading the games, still not working.

Bulletstorm, before main menu loaded, artifacts on the right then it completely froze.

This happened after VT4 froze, happens after EVERY game is loaded...

This is the worst I've seen, VT4 Main menu before crash.

Odd, my old GFX card that failed even had artifacts on the desktop. I also bought a new PSU 2 weeks ago, but I DOUBT it would be that?
 
What psu is it ? still looks to be a bad gpu issue as it has been working fine and this has just started, have u tried re-seating the card and checking the power cables ?
 
Not tried that yet, Ive not moved my case or anything. Will try in 10mins

PSU = OCZ Z-Series 850W '80 Plus Gold' Power Supply
