ermmm problem
i got this problem, when i play FEAR it crashes my system and loooads of weird blotches

7300GT ddr 128mb
standard : 500mhz/700mhz

o/c 600/800 (See pic)

i am thinking of getting the Zalman ZM80-D (if all else fails)
 
Does it work fine, not fps wise mind you, when it is not overclocked or are the issues popping up only when the card is overclocked in FEAR?
 
Also if you open a temp monitoring program then run fear for say 5 mins, and then quit to the desktop, you might see if heat is the issue or not.
 
If it's only artifacting @ the OCed frequencies, then that means the OC is too high.

When I played FEAR, I would get artifacts @ speeds where I wouldn't find one in all my other games.
