Pink lines/pixels appear when crashing a car in all games.

Hi,
Just got a ASUS GTX 660. Games run amazingly on high and ultra settings. But every time I crash somewhere while driving, pink lines appear for a second all over the screen, and then they are gone. It happens in Dirt3, Grid 2, Far Cry3, and even in Battlefield 4, the later even crashed the game(it was a big crash). No such problems on F1 2013.
Max GPU temp was 65C. I can record a video but don't know where to upload it.
Also, I used GeForce Experience to optimize game settings. Drivers are up to date.
Is it because setting are a bit too high on theses games ? Or is it the card itself ?
Thanks

OK, update on what I have tried so far:
Playing on low settings, 2 different older drivers, windowed instead of full screen, changing monitors and using 2 different cables, HDMI and DVI connections. Nothing has changed.
Could it be audio driver or audio related issue ?
Thanks

no, not sure how to.
Should I use asus GPU tweak ?
At the moment it stands at:
GPU Boost clock 1085
Memory clock 6008
If I slide to min it becomes: 0935 and 4008
Is this what you had in mind ?
Would I void my manufacturers warranty by doing this ?

Its possible that its the game installs. And no. Under clocking should not void the warranty. And those settings should work fine. If you try that and it quits doing that to you then it is likely that a shader core went bad.

Ok, tried to underclock, same thing. I just need to know that it is not a GPU. Hopefully it's just bad installs. I mean everything else works perfectly. It's just when the car hits walls heavily. Maybe it's just some damage thing in game... strange that different games have exactly the same problem.

It's not games! Tried to re install them, and then tried other installs, demos from steam. Same problem.
Getting tired now.
So what's left ? back to drivers ?

I found it !!! First of all, I don't know why I mentioned Far Cry 3 in this post. It works fine there. BF4 full of bugs and crashes for other reasons as well. The only left are GRID2 and Dirt3, both done by codemasters. I'm not the only one having this 'problem' which apparently is not a problem at all. It is meant to be like that. When you crash a car it simulates camera to 'cut out' and show these pink/green stripes. Not a nice simulation...
Thanks superfreestyleer for your help.
