I bought Civ 5 on the Steam sale recently, but it's really hard to play as I'm getting these really bright coloured patches appearing and disappearing on the screen after a bit of playing. Then the menu becomes a mess of random colours after exiting a game. This happened with the graphics set to max and when they were set to the minimum and I have a pretty good computer.
I'm running it on the DirectX10 & 11 mode as recommended and I can run Saints Row 3 in the same mode with no problems. How can I fix this?!
Edit: added some pictures I managed to get

I had almost the exact same problem, and fixed it with the "verify cache" option in steam. That may solve your issue too.
