As the title suggests when i start up any game thats the slightest graphically demanding my computer's screen turns into pixels (usually pink or green) and crashes , so far i have tried:
- Reinstalling drivers
- Restarting the computer
- Reformatting and reinstalling the computer OS
I have also looked around the internet for any possible solution but it seems nobody knows whats wrong
Ill post a picture in a moment
Oh and the computer usually started working after a restart but in the last couple of days it didnt fix itself
Heres the picture:

Which GPU do you have.
Perhaps it's overheating (unlikely, but worth checking). Download [url=http://www.cpuid.com/hwmonitor.php]HWmonitor[/url] and screenshot and post it here.
Or maybe a shitty ram, anyway, you could try cleaning the inside of your computer. How long do you have your pc.
Lets see... i cleaned my computer... about a week ago and i have it for about 2 years
I have a Q9300(quad core) clocked @2.5Ghz
4GB DDR2 ram
and a 280GTX
windows 7 ultimate x64

Bump... anybody know whats wrong?
anybody? please?
70°C in idle seems quite high, but maybe it's normal for 280s to run that hot. I'd start worrying when it approaches 100 though, gpus are usually designed to withstand high temperatures.
You could try testing the card in another computer, just to confirm whether it's causing the problem or not.
What is your PSU?

Yeah well i think that its showing the wrong temparature since i put my hand on the card and it probably wasnt that hot
Anyway my PSU is a Munshkin enhanced - 650W
I presume you also reinstalled the GPU drivers after you formatted? Since it is a common mistake.
Also I do not know your PSU brand.
You could try reaseating the gpu or using the onboard gpu (if you have one) to check the problem.
My money is on a bad PSU 12V rail to your GPU.
