specs:

AMD Athlon x2 5000+ Brisbane CPU
2x1GB RAM
160GB SATA Seagate HDD
MSI ATI Radeon RX2600XT Diamond GPU
450W PSU
S-Series GA-M57SLI-S4 Mobo
Windows XP SP 2
Screen Resolution at 1280x960 (19" Hanns-G JW199D LCD Monitor)

Now, I've updated every driver I am aware of, and updated the BIOS.
However, whenever after about two minutes into any game, mainly Dawn of War: Dark Crusade, Half Life 2: Deathmatch, and Half Life 2: Lost Coast, the game freezes up and I see green pixels making a spiral pattern on the screen. The sounds continue to work along with mouse movement, but the screen is locked and I'm forced to restart the computer manually. Any help?
