Can overclocking your cpu have an affect on your gpu because on big maps on bf3 in caspian border i get loads of hash and artifacts and it freezez the screen

If the CPU is bottle-necking the system when you play games then it could cause choppiness and stuttering but shouldn't cause artifacts. Is your GPU overclocked? Artifacts can be cause by a GPU that is overclocked too far or is getting overheated.

Bad driver?

Iv tryed loads of drivers mate

Out of ideas. Do you have another video card you could install to see if it's a problem with the PCI-e subsystem? Or you could check that out as well with the onboard video, even though the frame rate would be crappy.

Switching PCI-e ports might be a good idea. If you have GPU-z installed, is it reading your card correctly? Might be a dying GPU?

When you say you have "tried loads of drivers" how did you install CCC? Just over the old version? Uninstalled and then re-installed? Or did you uninstall, restart in safe mode and use a program like drive sweeper to erase any lingering files left over?
