Game graphics trouble on a good sys

Ok I've had a computer i built about half a year ago it has a MSI P6n Platinum Mobo with a e6400 oced to 3 ghz, 4 gb of ram, an 8800 gts 320mb vid card, and runs vista ultimate 32 bit. Now the problem i pose is that whatever game i run, regardless of at what speed my cpu was at( just oced like a day ago) i still get sever black lines, and huge black error shadows on games. I have all my drivers updated to the latest, along with the latest dx10 drivers. This is a problem that seems to plague this system no matter what i do so is it a hotfix issue or a hardware one. (mind you the error is not horrible, i can easily play games, it just seems to happen at odd times, especially on in game cutscenes.)

Is your PSU up to snuff?

Is it clogged up in crud?

Can you post a screenshot of the anomaly?

My psu is a 550 watt rosewill, it isnt clogged up because i do clean out the dust fro mmy case regularly. It seems to be a problem with the shader as it really is only an effect on shadows.

heres the error in a very slight version look at the shadows

that is graphic card artifacts. have u overclocked your graphics card? also check the cards(and all system) temperatures. if u dont overclock and the temps r fine then i suggest u remove the card and try another one if possible. or try the same card in another machine and see if any problems come up. last thing that could be a problem is ur psu. rosewill isnt exactly cutting edge.
