Those are commonly called artifacts, from what description you gave us.

Could be that your Videocard is Overheating, Check if your fan spins, check it's temperature, etc.

Could also be that the videocard is defective, it happens.

Another thing is that it could be driver related, I would update them to the newest out for the card : www.nvidia.com
