PC Graphics Card problems

Anyone else seen these problems while playing BF2142? It happens during the game as well as in the menus:

 It seemed to only start happening after I installed company of heros, although I can't be sure!

Thanks for any help!

an overheating GPU caused by dust blocking up the heat sink so the fan couldn't blow air over it!
All fixed and working now. Back to BF2142

I've had a bit of a graphic glitch yesterday playing BF2142. I don't have company of heros, but I have recently installed the latest patch 1.20.
I had the grey line appear but it was more of a wall than a line.

Just read your feedback that overheating GPU was the cause. i'll check mine out tonight.

I'm Cann0nF0dder if you wish to add me to your buddy list.
