Hi guys.
Not sure if this is the right section to post in- if not I apologize.
I've been having trouble with my computer on and off for quite a while, but never got around to fixing it. Was overseas for over a year, came back, just now deciding to try to finally fix it.
Here are photos of the two freezes from this morning:

First was after booting, second was in-game League of Legends, after about 5 minutes. Everything stopped, screen flickered, then came back up as that. The bottom half of the screen was flashing every color possible. Never stopped flashing and kept going as long as I left it there.
In the past I recall having issues in games of Starcraft where the entire screen would turn green and make bars out of everything, and looked like the Matrix.
**Computer Specs:**
* Fresh Windows 7 insallation on new Seagate HD.
* EVGA Nvidea GeForce 9800 GX2
* 2x 4GB DDR3 RAM
* ASUS P5E3 Deluxe/WiFi-AP@n Motherboard
* Intel Core 2 Duo 3.16 Ghz
I just replaced the heatsink on the processor as it was overheating. Temps were around 92C before replacing and after reseating and cleaning it hovers around 40C. All other temperatures looked normal. Video card(s) were hovering at around 70C, 78C under use. High, but not overheating yet.
Gonna head off today and try to find a backup monitor to use, then test with integrated video, then find a way to swap out RAM. Don't really have any other DDR3 so that would be the more difficult test. Posting here to see if anyone recognizes the issue and can save me some time.
Thanks for all your help dudes.
