Question : Problem: LCD Monitor Flickers and Crashes in 3D Games

I've just replaced my old 21" Viewsonic CRT for a brand new 19" Viewsonic VE910 LCD Display today and all seems well untill i tried playing ANY 3D game! (which worked fine on my old CRT yesterday!)
The screen begins to show faint green boxes, they then begin to become stronger, and then the speakers begin to screech then the computer completly hangs!

Help me please!!

Answer : Problem: LCD Monitor Flickers and Crashes in 3D Games

GPU overheating seems very likely here => 79C is HOT;  I'd hate to think what it's getting up to when you're doing intense gameplay.  The CPU temp is very good.  Try Callandor's suggestion r.e. a fan => if that works you know what the problem is;  then you either need to add a better heatsink to your graphics card; or get a new card.
