Not quite sure if this is where it should go, but as I do not know the nature of this issue I'm putting it here.
I am at my wits end trying to figure out this issue I am having, so having exhausted my own meager knowledge and stumping my friends / co-workers, I turn to the last bastion of hope: internet forums.
For starters, an image:

This is what happens when I try to load Black Ops 2 on my PC, or World of Warcraft. Currently, they are the only 2 games that seem to have this issue, and both are 'optimized' for Windows 8. RIFT, Mount and Blade, Fallen Enchantress...they all work flawlessly.
I have tried updating / rolling back my graphics drivers. I have tried different DVI / HDMI cables. I have tried all compatibility modes on both games, and nothing I do seems to work.
Other than these, so far 2 isolated issues I have had ZERO problems with Windows 8, and am actually quite enjoying it, but these 2 are going to drive me crazy as I routinely play both with friends. I only have my desktop, which I built, so there's no other options. Does anyone have ANY idea on what could be causing this?
Any help at all is appreciated.
