I have this problem with many games. These black squares appear in some games for a very little time. I want to know what's causing them? and how to fix it. Is it a faulty graphics card?

It happens a lot in Battlefield 2142, Battlefield 2, OF Dragon Rising.
Most of my games often crash and then recover again.

Oh and the PC is 2-3 years old. I have upgraded RAM (originally 2x1GB, PSU (Originally a crappy 400w PSU) , motherboard, and GPU (Originally POV 8600GT 512mb). The warranty of my graphics card is still active...
I have NOT overclocked my PC in any way.
My ram... i switched back to 2x1GB sticks that originally came with my pc.... the problem is the same.
I have been struggling with this problem for a while now. It definitely isn't a software problem cause i switched to a new MOBO few days ago and made a clean installation of OS and the problem is still here.
