Does your motherboard have built in graphics? You could use that until you get a new card.

Try running another game, or anything that requires 3D acceleration (like 3DMark).

If it does the same thing in other games, it's the card that's fried (likely overheated). If it runs the other games, it's something to do with ToR...

It's a shot at least.
