Graphics card shutters

Here is the problem:
My old graphics card died, which I can only assume was due to a power failure at my house even though I have a surge protector. So I ended up buy a EVGA e-GeForce 8600 GT graphics card. after installing and updating windows vista and the graphics drivers I went play Team Fortress 2 and World of Warcraft and after about 2 min in the game froze and went into a shutter which I havn't seen before. I have a Gigabyte S series motherboard, with 2G DDR2 667 RAM. HELP I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO!!!
