Im not sure if this is suppose to be in here but it falls under video cards displays games and general software. anyways.

when im playing a game (system in sig) after about 30 min or an hour i get a bunch of lines through my screen. i cant see anything but these lines. my computer freezes up and i have to restart it. it does this in counter strike (source, condition zero, deleted scense, and regular counter strike) it also does it if i do a dual monitor with my tv. if i do a clone its fine but once i do a dual it does the line thing and freezes. it also does this in movies i play on my computer. i use windows media player 10, divx, InterDVD. it only does this somtimes. somtimes i can get through with no problems. but most of the time it does this.

what can this be?
 
Sounds like a heat issue but its odd it only does it on dual displays.

Has it worked before?
Changed anything lately?
Installed any new software?
Got the latest drivers?

A lot of questions that need to be answered first, of course starting with the first one. :)
 
This is the first time it has happened
I formatted and reinstalled everything like i always do.
Only installed Windows Media Player 10 but this was after it was doing this.
I have the latest video card drivers
 
I would definetly be looking at a temperatures then. Run through some benchmarks and see where you are landing. Could be that powering dual displays is just enough to push the card over the edge.
