Video problems.

I play games a lot, mostly world of warcraft and half-life 2. Over the past month or 2 I have had a lot of problems with my video. When playing a game, after 10-20 minutes things start becoming pixelated, giant jagged lines run accross the screen all stretched out and what not and it becomes almost impossible to play the game. The only way to fix it is to restart my comp and then 20 minutes later it happens again... I don't like restarting my computer every 20 minutes, it is very annoying.

heres a pic of what happens: http://img502.imageshack.us/img502/7...ddamnit5ur.jpg

My system:
Pentium 4 2.8E Ghz
400W power supply
eVGA nvidia 6600GT 128mb AGP 8x
1GB DDR400 Ram
Asus P4S800D motherboard
Maxtor 60GB 7200RPM hardrive

This problem happened in early october, and has been happening ever since. I updated my video card drivers in early october but I do not think that is the problem, though it might be.

Does anyone have any idea how to fix this problem?
