I recently reinstalled Windows because my current installation of Windows had gotten bloated. Now, whenever I try to play Dark Age of Camelot (NetImmerse Engine like Morrowind but more optimized) after about 5 minutes my graphics conk out as if the card was overheating.
Card is a 5700LE that was overclocked before I reinstalled Windows, but I don't think that's the problem. If I run Dark Age of Camelot after about 5 minutes major artifacts appear and the GUI messes up.
After alt-tabbing out and then back in it goes to this :

And then when I try to run other applications other parts get messed up, though the card seems to still be able to render stuff :

The only way to fix it is to reboot. Ran The Dawn and Dusk Demos, worked fine, no problem, for about an hour combined. Played Doom 3, worked fine (with the exception of one illegal operation type thing that appeared to be unrelated) no artifacts. Fired up Dark Age of Camelot, 5 minutes, artifacting and everything is messed up.
Have tried the latest NVidia drivers plus the last two releases. Didn't work. DAOC worked fine until I reinstalled Windows so could it be caused by :
Going from DirectX 9.0B to 9.0C?
Change in NVidia Driver Versions?
Have the VIA 4-in-1 drivers installed as well.
System Specs :
Athlon XP 1800+
PNY Geforce 5700 LE
1 Gig Ram
Creative Sound Blaster Live (Putting this in here in case for some unknown reason it might be causing an incompatibility)
