Hey guys, I am having a serious problem. Well, serious for some games, not a problem for others. Anyways, for starters, here's a quick summary of my current laptop from running 'dxdiag':

If additional info is needed, just let me know....
Anyways, here's the problem when I play games like Skyrim, Empire Total War and Firefall.

Picture this same type of distortion completely filling my screen when just loading Firefall. I can't even select a game or anything because this effect is immediate. With Empire Total War once an actual game starts, after watching the mission intro, that weird graphic effect takes over the screen and I cant see or do anything. At least with Skyrim it is hit or miss. So far, just starting a new game, I only see this in the open. In the first area with the dragon and the caves and houses, there are no issues. I also randomly see this same effect in The Sims 3. I have no idea what is going on.
Other games like Minecraft, Civ 5 and No More Room in Hell all play with no issues at all.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Be happy to provide whatever additional info you might need to assist. As far as I know, my drivers are updated and I should be able to handle these games without issue.
