Possible gfx problem - Computer crashing during games

During the past few days, while playing Sims 3 and Trackmania Canyon, I've been getting these screens and my computer has just completely frozen up. My computer was built by myself and has the MSI 7850 in it with up to date drivers. I'm not getting these crashes until I play a game and they are usually happening within the first 30 minutes. As it is my first build, and I'm a bit of a hardware newbie, I was hoping that someone could at least point me in the right direction of what to do next!

Also, the lines that appear when my computer freezes can appear in varying colours, if that helps...

What PSU do you have? What is the rest of the system specs? How hot does the CPU get?

My PSU is an XFX Pro 550W Core Edition '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply. Rest of the specs are as follows:

Intel i5 3570k (Not overclocked, working and running perfectly)
2x8gb GeIL Black Dragon 1333mhz RAM
MSI Z77A-G43 Intel Z77 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard

I was also wrong about MSI, it's a Gigabyte card, although I realise that that doesn't make much of a difference...

Shame to hear about all the problems with these cards.
