MSI n260gtx Lightning black edition Hard-locking/artifacting with certain programs

So, I just built a new computer (New for me being less then 4 years old.) With a lot of high endish parts from back in 2011 or so. Now it's not that great but it plays any game I'd ever want to play on it with no problem. The real problem is doing pretty much anything else at all.

When I browse the web with Firefox or Google Chrome, sometimes the browser window will artifact then the program will lock up and become unresponsive. It can happen at any time but mainly happens while watching youtube or when flash player is active. Picture below for example.



So, thats one half of the problem. The other problem is when ever I play a video in any format, it'll have more or less the same issues, except sometimes the driver will crash and it'll give me the same error a lot of nivida users get, somethign along the liens of "Your driver has stopped responding but recovered" sometimes it'll even hard-lock my system to the point where I have to hit the HDD reset or manually power off. I'll include the specs, hopefully someone knows whats going on, in all my searching I've only been able to come up with "You have a bad video card" or "your (BRAND NEW 850watt) PSU is faulty" neither of which seem accurate.

Please help guys! This sucks!

Flash player is up to date, the weird thing is I can play any game all day, even leave furmark running and nothing goes wrong, the problem only occurs when browsing or watching a video.
