Hey all, I just purchased this graphics card on black Friday and installed it on Christmas. It seemed to be working fine for the first few days, but now I am encountering a pretty strange issue. Whenever I watch any sort of video, there are black and white horizontal lines flickering all over the place. Here is an example:

Also, I have been trying to play Psychonauts which is a game from 2005 that I should really not have an issue playing, but found that there was insane flickering and texture problems all over the place. I played this game on my girlfriend's system just days ago, which is significantly weaker than mine, and had absolutely no problems.

EDIT: I just booted up Skyrim:

Keep in mind that this stuff is flickering EVERYWHERE at a very rapid pace.
The drivers are fully updated. What do you guys think? Is there any fix to this or is the card faulty?
