I may be totally on the wrong track here but:
When you say your background images just have the default windows pic (square,triangle) are you talking about the icons or your background picture ?
IF it is the background picture, does this also happen when you browse the web ?

Please post a comment to answer these question, everyone has a better chance of helping you with more information.

lockups are almost 95% of the time cause from overheating. i would try a patch for the game, updating directx to the latest version. also try taking the case cover off and checking your fans leave the cover off and place a fan near it might help.
