I just bought a MSI GeForce 6600GT and ive run into a problem. During
gameplay, i see short chops flashing around the screen and the
computer sometimes freezes. Is there anything i can do to fix this?

P4 2.4 GHZ
MSI motherboard
768 MB Ram
320W Power Supply

Your power supply is the most likely culprit if it only occurs during
3D gaming and not while on the Desktop. The +12V current may be
inadequate, there should be at least 17 amps available for a decent
margin. The CPU, 6600GT, your hard disk(s), DVD/CD-rom (or burner)
are all consumers of+12V in a modern PC. And if you overclock the
CPU, you will certainly need all 17 amps.....

Try underclocking the CPU to reduce the +12V current and see if the
condition improves.

You didn't mention it, but I'd be willing to bet that you are using a cheap
power supply unit that is NOT capable of really supplying it's rated 320
watts in a real world load. Instead, as it's pushed during games, it
becomes unstable and puts out far fewer watts, thus causing the symptoms you
see. I would recommend a name brand higher output power supply unit.
