Hello,
I am having issues across multiple games with shadows being glitchy/pixelated/blocky.

It isn't my Graphics Card(Hardware)
Because I have had the issue with my

I have Tried:
MoBo BIOS flashing
Driver updating for Chipset/Sound/Graphics
Hard driver wipe outs after wipe out/ clean installs of windows etc...

System:
700Wat PSU
Windows 7 64bit
AMD Phenom II x4 940 3.0Ghz
MA78GM-US2H(rev 1.0) Gigabyte
4GB DDR2 1066 Mushkin
EVGA GTX 470 Latest driver(260.xx)
Latest DirectX
Latest Visual C 's (05,08,10....I have no idea if Visual C means anything or not.)

Games I have the issue with:
Mass Effect 2
Final Fantasy 14
Age of Conan

The prime suspect is your PSU. It will likely be sending erattic voltage to your Graphics Cards resulting in memory errors. You are at risk of damaging your cards if this is so. Check PSU before using it to prevent damage.

How would I check my PSU?

 

[decode]

Open your case and supply us with the Model name and number on the side of your power supply(were you plug the black power cord into) we'll look into it from there and recommend any solutions.

Can you please specify your country and what amount you would be willing to pay to fix this problem(for replacement parts)

Info on PSU=
