So I'm having a problem where the game will generate little red jaggies
all over my screen and shortly thereafter freeze. I can't even get to
the desktop after this and I have to hard reboot my computer. So far,
it has only happened in the Fade during the Mage origin and in the
Korcari Wilds. Does anyone know what might be causing this and what I
could possibly do to avoid it? It's really annoying having to reboot
after every five minutes of progress.

Your video card is overheating. Clean out any dust from the heatsink, make sure the fan is working, and turn up the fan speed if you can with the proper utility.

I cleaned up the dust and the fan is working, but I'm not sure how I'd go about turning up the fan speed (I have a GeForce 8800 GTS for reference). I'm going to turn the graphics down even lower from where they autodetected and see if that helps at all too.

I agree with flem1. It sounds like an overheating problem. Besides cleaning the dust out, making sure the fan works, and adjusting the fan speed, you should download a temperature monitoring software for your graphics card. I personally prefer Everest by Lavalys, because it will show you a lot more information than just temperatures for your Motherboard, CPU, Video Card, and Hard Drive. If anyone asks you about your computer you can tell them anything and everything about it with this tool. There is a trial version of this software available, but it is about $40.00 to purchase. Well worth the money if you ask me.



GPU-Z will tell you want your fan speed is running at. You can then check your video card manual to see what it should be running at.



There are free alternatives to adjust the fan speed on your video card as well (make it run 100% while gaming, then turn it down for regular use). Check around some of the computer tech messageboards for help finding one. I recommend both Rebels Haven and Xtremesystems messageboards, due to the fact that there are numerous experts frequenting those communities.

EVGA has a nice GPU tweaker that will adjust the fan for you. But I believe you need to own one of their cards to download it. A common free one is Rivatuner. There's a guide to using it to adjust fan speeds here.



Btw, the current version of SpeedFan can monitor Nvidia GPU temps too. No vidcard fan control however.
