Last night while playing World of Warcraft, out of nowhere I got a crash which resulted in having to restart. It happened after about 10 hours online of running perfectly through raids, running around, zoning, changing chars, etc. I was in the zone it crashed in for probably 10-15 minutes before it happened...my graphics went weird and like flickered shapes and stuff then locked up. I ctrl+alt+deleted a few times and after a minute it hit a blue screen with text, but I hit ctrl+alt+delete right then so I didn't get a chance to read the blue screen.
After my comp restarted, I loaded WoW and got on, ran around for probably 5-10mins again, no problem, then all of a sudden while I was sitting still at 64fps doing nothing, it crashed again. Same thing, but no blue screen, totally froze, had to power my comp down. After it rebooted, I loaded WoW again, only about 4-5 minutes later it did it again, but this time it kept flickering different shapes/sizes/screens, it would show one for 15sec then flicker a bit, I could hear/see the game moving between flickers, then it would do it again.
I alt+f4'd the game and got a game error which wasn't very useful. http://imagelink.org/image/3039.jpg
Comp specs:
AMD 64 x2 3800+
eVGA N516 7800GT
ASUS A8N5X
2gb Corsair ValueRam
250gb WD 7200rpm
80gb Maxtor 7200rpm
Antec NeoPower 480w psu
ViewSonic VP930B monitor
CPU 46º(maybe 42, can't remember), case 40º, video 51º at the time of the second crash...I checked the temps after it rebooted and was in windows.
The board, proc, and video (and 1gb ram) are less than a week old. I got the new parts and 2 days after getting them, the video card went bad. Shipped it back, got a new one, it was bad on arrival. There was also speculation that the motherboard PCI-E slot was bad, so I sent both back and got new video and motherboard on the 23rd, used them fine until this.
Last night the black on the forums here had all sorts of blue dots/lines in it, and white seems to have some yellow in the text. Today after restarting those are gone and it seems fine.
I grabbed my digicam since I couldn't very well screenshot what was happening, and was able to take two short movie clips of what happened. The blue dots all over on the black screen in the clip is exactly what I saw on the forums black background last night. This is really irritating since I've had to deal with so much crap in the past ~10 days for this comp.

Anyone know what would cause this? I'm on a 1 day old Motherboard and Video Card, this being my 2nd board in a week and 3rd video card in a week, I'm seriously hoping nothing is wrong.
