Possibly artifacts. If your graphics card gets too hot, either from prolonged use or overclocking you get artifacts (note the spelling, not artefacts), which are basically a sign that if you keep it up you'll fry your card's chip. Artifacts can mafiest in a number of ways on your screen (malfunctioning colour, textures etc), but they are always a graphical misrepresentation or fault. Solution is to stop overclocking, or at least lower chip/ramdac frequencies or if you don't overclock, lower your in game settings and don't play for as long.

Other possibilities could include a corrupted PK3 file, but I doubt you would be able to play the map if it was corrupted, but perhaps somebody who knows more on that subject can enlighten us :)

I would go for the former, but don't take it as gospel until some others agree. It would be my diagnosis anyway, I had a similar problem when I overclocked a Radeon 9550 a couple of years back.

Why the hell did you shit on your cooling fan? Use a lavatory for goodness sake.
