It could be a failing graphics card, I have had the same problem occur where textures wouldn't load, but that was many years ago with a GeForce 4 TI 4200. These days, if a GPU starts to fail, it will usually artifact and/or crash. Another possibility is that your old hard drive is failing, failing hard drives often will start to perform very slowly, which can affect texture streaming, leading to the problems you described. I would say get something like HWMonitor or MSI Afterburner to monitor your GPU temps, and also download some HDD testing software.

Also it would help to get a brand and model number on your power supply, if you have a really low quality PSU that can't deliver stable voltages under load, that could also cause your GPU to behave weirdly.
