I played the first few leavels through oblivion with no problem, now all of the sudden, when I go into the menu and move the mouse around some the game freezes. I used to get the ati VPU recover error but now it just freezes after I disabled it. EQ2 has been doing the same thing lately but not very frequently. Oblivion does it every 10-15 mins. Also occasionaly the screen will get filled up with these blocks, the game still runs, but you can't really see anything for all the blocks and I have to restart the computer. Can anyone help me with this?

yes I do. I actually figured out what it was, this is a very interesting thing as I've never encountered this problem in all the years I've been messing with computers. I took the fan assembly apart on the video card and cleaned it out. There were clumps of dust stuck in it. I removed all the dust and now the games all run perfectly with no freezing, or restarts. Good thing I caught it now or my VPU might have burned out.
