    Sounds like a video card issue.  You have any idea how old your computer is and what video card it has?

    open up the case and clean any dust away from the motherboard, graphics card, cpu heatsink etc. using a can of compressed air.  After this ensure that the video card is seated securely in it's slot.  Modern games will not run too well on that card though.

    See if you can borrow another video card from a friend to try and see if the problem persists, if it goes away then you need a new card.

    see if you can improve the air flow through your case, pull the side pannel off and let a big ol' box fan blow into it. that might help. if it does look for ways to improve the air flow through your case.
