Looks like a faulty video card or a weird video driver bug. Have you seen this happen in any other recent game?

Also, listing your computer's specs in a post like this is generally a good idea. If you don't know them just run dxdiag (Start->Run...->type dxdiag in the field, press ok).

I have one question do you have a flat screen or one of the really big clunky old monitors? If so how long have you had your stone aged monitor? Because after abotu 3 - 5 years theyt begin to stop workign and it is characterised by exactly what you explained random colour changes which are mainly yellow. Bottom line if its as I said it is you need a new monitor when old one finally breaks down or before that if oyu cant stad the colour problems.

Vorianatriedes: Try making more sense. The image he posted is a screenshot and thus has absolutely nothing to do with the monitor.

I have exactly the same error, but my entire PC freezes up a bit after this happens, also, it doesn't happen when I load areas, it happens when I've been ingame for a while.

LATEST nVidia drivers and a 8800GTS

Have you heard of something called a gaming monitor? Not all monitors are designed to show games liek GW perfectly forever. I still havent got a response on the age of his monitor yet.

No, what he's trying to say is that monitor problems don't show up in screenshots. Ever.

To be honest, that looks like your video card going bad or overheating.

He didn't take the picture with a camera. He hit the Prt Scrn key on his keyboard, thus it would take an internal screen capture of what the computer signal sees, not a monitor. A GPU transmits a signal. All a monitor is is a receiver. Thus, something weird is going off with his transmitted signal.
