Exclamation I have a problem :(

Well today, I'm doing my normal thing, and I go to play Guild Wars and my picture is all blocky and tiley. I was like "what is this" so I tried Counter Strike. That was the same way. Bad picture quality. So I asked my friend about it. He suggested I clean out my video card slot and RAM slots. Well I did. Lot of dust in the GPU fan. I reset everything, nothing changed. I updated my drivers. Still nothing changed. I re-installed Direct X, that didn't work either. The blockiness is ONLY in games. Everything else is fine. I don't know what happened... I use a 6600 GT in a PCI-E mother board if that helps. So, anyone know what's wrong?

Have you tried lowering your advanced settings such as AA in the Display properties or in games? Also, how long have you had that GPU?

I've had it for about a year, and I've tried lowering and raising the resolution, turning things on and off, it doesn't help. As soon as the window comes up, everything is just blocky... It's horrible...

This just in. Whenever I open a file-sharing program, my whole screen goes into tile-mode. Does this mean it's my operating system?
