Problem: 1# Once I boot up computer, I see some artifacts on my screen(Green lines). Once I go into windows everything looks fine except some borders on icons have some weird green lines around it, basically I have to click on "refresh" to get rid of them.

2# When I launch any Direct 3d games, characters have long spikes sticking out of them like its streched or something, ill try and provide a screenshot to show you. Never seen this before. please help!?(Video card is stock, not OC'ed)

Take out your side case panel to let it cool. It looks like a heating problem to me.
