Re: Screen screwed.. Why?
Overheating. Any signs of random bugs or artifacts within a game can be directly pointed to overheating. If DELL hasn't correctly cooled their cards, I wouldn't be surprised they are burning up on BF2. As for the other brand cards, it may be that your case is hot in general, or maybe it is the hot time of year for you?
As for the man jumping from an X300 to an 6600, the X300 is a slower card and so doesn't need cooling. The more Mhz you have passing through the card, the more heat is generated. Most low-end graphics cards these days dont even need fans. Case fans/room temperature are more than adequate. When you jump up to higher-end latest generation chipped cards, heat will jump with it too.
If you have tried the latest drivers with no joy, and this starts happening after a set period of time into a game, I would put my money on the fact that your card is frying itself. When is starts happening, check how hot the side/lower side of your PC tower is. You could also try opening up the case and just checking the temp in there with your hand.
As for how to deal with it, try opening up your case and playing for a while, or even better, buy a case fan/GPU fan and see what happens.
