So it's a CPU error. Is there any way that could fix this without modifying my machine or doing anything extreme? Again, running of a school owned computer so the chances of doing something drastic isn't very ideal. Thanks for the help though.

GPU

and no, that's hardware based - as daenth has stated about 4 times now.

GPU. sorry, I got it mixed up with CPU there. But I understand what's going wrong. My only conclusion is having to wait out the 8 weeks of school before they wipe the computers, in hopes that doing that will fix it.

it won't, assuming daenth is right

they need to replace the actual chip that is the gpu, if im not mistaken

Unless he really screwed up his graphics drivers, it going to be hardware based. You can try and update graphics drivers to see if that fixes it, but if it doesn't, you need to get it repaired/replaced.

your GPU is beaten

Would wiping out my computer fix the problem? Is there any way to tell that it's beaten other than ingame problems? I want the Tech guys to know there's something wrong, without me having to speak up saying I found them from games.

Try doing Mac hardware tests and see if any of them fail. Go here for more info: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1509
