Umm what could be causing my screenshots to look like this:

It's not just my screenshots either. The shots it takes in Doom3 when you save or you objective in your PDA. AND it also look like this with Fraps when making a video.

More info on your video card and stuff might be helpful.

Looks like an odd resolution problem. Does it take those screens at a certain res?

Why are you overclocking the card?

It should work just fine at stock speed.

Doesn't run HL2 CSS or Doom 3 on high with stock.

If you're only getting the visual artifacts in screenshots and not while in game, you're probably still within the cards tolerance, but at the edge. Try backing the overclock off a little and see if you can still run at the resolution you desire but have the ability to take screenys. If you can't, or if you don't want to try, you'll have to decide between lower resolution with the ability to take snaps and high resolution with no ability to record. You can't expect a card to be all things in all circumstances. As is often said for cars, your video-card can be: (1)-Fast (2)-Cheap (3)-Reliable. Pick any two.
