I have a MSI Nvidia 6600, and a couple days ago i was playing video games without a glitch in sight. than all the sudden i try to play my game, and little tiny red dots and other colors appear all over.than my computer restarts and looks like this...

After an hour of all these dots and glitches my computer usually goes back to normal. but i can't play computer games without it glitching up.

I'm almost positive its the graphics card because i have tryed getting new drivers, reinstalling old drivers, the works.I'm just not sure what to do from here.

I'd appreciate any help at all, Thanks

It sounds like you have some cooling issues and/or bad RAM on the video card. If it's within the return period for the place you purchased it from, you'll want to exchange it. If not, you'll need to contact MSI about getting a replacement card.
