Okay, I wrote before incase the same techs read this but I will write what the problem is and what new I have done to fix it.
My graphics cut out in midgame, its multiple games now that this has happened. I am playing Unreal Tournament and the screen shows one frame and its scrambled. I play Homeworld and the screen goes black.
I have exchanged and had tested the following.
I have changed the motherboard, ram, power supply, sound card and nothings changed. I have completely formated the Hard Drive and nothing. I have put multiple fans inside my case and I have put my home BOX FAN right next to the computer when I took off the case panel. SAME PROBLEM.
The only possible thing is that its the GFX card or the CPU. I tried my friends GFX card and my computer was slow but I never got to check it in a game. The CPU seems to work because I have been using this computer to write here and other things.
Please help, any other ideas will be tried and appreciated.

AMD 3700+ San Diego
Corsair 1GB 2x512
eVGA 6600GT

Sound Blaster Audigy
Windows XP HOME W/SP2

Overheating? I put a box fan next to it in a cool room. That can't be it. I didn't think it could overheat within 4 minutes of the computer running and while the GFX card fan is running.

Fix the problem, the GFX card died and I replaced it. If you have been following my progress thank you.
