Computer screen glitches while playing a game

[kotokai555]

I've been trying to play spore, need for speed, and other games on my pc but for some reason during the gameplay my computer screens pixels go haywire. Like all of them shift over and look like a screen that you use to see when starting up the old nintendo cartridge games, u know the glitchy weird kind. I can't figure out the problem, i've thought maybe it was my nvidia card so I went to the website updated the to the newest driver then it glitched out again, however I can't see or do anything but I can hear the music playing in the background. I always have to improperly shut down my computer

any suggestions?
:mad:

Oh and btw it will never happen unless i'm playing a game only. Not while running 3ds max, zbrush, and photoshop at the same time or anything whatsoever unless i'm running a video game.
