Usually artifacts (misrendered poly's, smears or mirror effects) or tearing (clean rips in rendered surfaces) are due to the video card getting too hot. Try cleaning any dust out of it and lowering some of the graphics quality settings.
If that's a laptop I got nuthin for ya :confused:

I've been leaving my machine up full-time and running Second Life v1.20.15, pretty much, non-stop. The visual artifacts, smears, mirrors, tearing, whatever, had become so thick I could hardly use sl. After reading this thread, I dusted my fairly clean video adapters and the radiator (liquid cooled), and added a fan to move air over both cards. This cleared the problem almost immediately ;) ~ who knew.)

Thx again
