I've been trying to play Tiger Woods Golf 08 and SimCity Societies but I keep having issues with my graphics. Low or High settings doesn't matter and I can't seem to find a fix on the internet.
Here are pictures of what I'm talking about. I'm missing chunks of textures and can't seem to figure out why. I just reinstalled both games today. I have updated drivers and Windows is up to date. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I am running a Nvidia 7300 GT with a Pen 4 3.2 single.

Looks like your graphics card has either failed or is overheating.

I just bought this card a month ago and I run GPUZ for diag on it and it says it only runs at 50 degrees. I haven't OC'd it either so that wouldn't be the problem. I've run out of reasons as to why it's failing me.
Edit: Apparently all of my games are now experiencing this issue. Going to take my computer apart and clean it out see if that will help.

this usually occurs when your video card was overheated at one point, which is irreversible damage.
It starts off as one or two games, and then branches out and becomes universal.

This same thing happened to me back when I played Battlefield 2142 and Vampire: The Masquerade-Bloodlines.
I ended up shipping off my video card which was still covered by ATI's warrenty and got a spiffy new one.

Yup, it's confirmed my GPU is screwed. Have to use this crappy 5700 LE now -.- Good thing for warranty =-)
