That's usually due to overheating or bad drivers. Lacking power tend to make the program crash completely.

A branded 400W PSU shouldn't have any issues. What is you PSU and specs?

Lagging and crashing would be normal symptoms of low power. Lines and artifacts usually mean overheating. Might wanna grab ATI tools: http://www.techpowerup.com/atitool/ Scan for Artifacts and watch your temps. You do not want it to go over 85C, although the 8800GTS can do up to 120C~.

If it starts overheating and artifacting, grab Rivatuner and increase the fan speed to 100% and test again. If there's still artifacts (yellow dots), try reducing your clock speeds.

If that's full load, temperature is cool.

Run prime95 (small fft) and monitor how warm it gets:
