very wierd problem....help please

When i try and play both MVP Baseball 2004 and Madden 2004, the screen will become REAL messed up after awhile. I don't know how to explain it but the screen looks like a cable is halfway unplugged on a TV. The screen becomes splotchy and it just looks awfull. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Here are my specs just in case they help:

 

3.06 GH processor

1GB of ram

64 mb video card

    Try reseating your flex cable.

    What system do you have? (a 5150, 5100, 9100 or XPS?)

    Some systems like the 9100 & XPS have a known video issue where the card seems to overheat causing corruption or system shutdowns after a while when gaming. If you have on of these two systems, I recommend calling dell to get the video card replaced.

    i've got the 5150 and the problem only happens when im playing one of those 2 games. I uninstalled and reinstalled the games but to no avail.

    What video card do you have? Have you tried updating drivers?
