But i am more concerned about damaged zip archives. This should not happen, and has nothing to do with your GFX card :)

This means, DirectX 9 cant allocate momory to the GFX card. Because you gfx card driver is crashed.

In this case with solid bars or lines over the screen, this could be broken memory on your GFX card or overclocked or just to hot.
(don't go and buy a new card, there are some more errors that can crash your gfx card :) )

Game.log:

Code:
info: not safe C:\ProgramData\FAForever\bin\..\gamedata\faforever.nxt
info: not safe C:\ProgramData\FAForever\bin\..\gamedata\lobby.nxt

i never saw a "not safe" there, but i guess, you should reload those files. (Mabye a HDD failure?)
Go to C:\ProgramData\FAForever\gamedata and delete everything you find inside gamedata.
This will be reloaded if youstart a game over the FAforever Lobby.

Code:
info: DISK: AddSearchPath: 'c:\programdata\faforever\gamedata\labwars.nxt', mounted as '/'
warning: Couldn't locate zip directory for 'c:\programdata\faforever\gamedata\labwars.nxt'
warning: Search path element "c:\programdata\faforever\gamedata\labwars.nxt" is not a valid .zip file.

The games tries to activate (load) labwars mod. but there is no file found for that.
in this case, there is a file found, but its not a zip. So the File is damaged. (HDD fail, virus ?)
Deleting C:\ProgramData\FAForever\gamedata will also reload those files.

Code:
info: Can't find texture "/env/lava/props/trees/xDead01_s1_normalsTS.dds" -- trying fallback.
info: Can't find texture "/env/lava/props/trees/xDead01_s1_normalsTS.dds" -- trying fallback.
info: Can't find texture "/env/lava/props/trees/XDead01_s1_normalsTS.dds" -- trying fallback.
info: Can't find texture "/env/lava/props/trees/XDead01_s1_normalsTS.dds" -- trying fallback.
info: Can't find texture "/env/lava/props/trees/xDead01_s1_normalsTS.dds" -- trying fallback.
info: Can't find texture "/env/lava/props/trees/xDead01_s1_normalsTS.dds" -- trying fallback.
info: Can't find texture "/env/lava/props/trees/LV_Dead01_s1_normalsTS.dds" -- trying fallback.
info: Can't find texture "/env/lava/props/trees/LV_Dead01_s1_normalsTS.dds" -- trying fallback.

Those files sould be inside your f:\program files (x86)\steam\SteamApps\common\Supreme Commander Forged Alliance\gamedata\env\env\lava\Props\Trees folder.
These are original files and sould be found. (Again HDD fail, or virus ???)
Please go to steam and verify all your gamefiles.

After all, i see damaged zip files on your HDD. Maybe you changed them by yourself or your Harddrive is not working perfect, or you have a maybe a virus on your system ?
This can also crash your GFX card, if some files and textures are not found.

Check your hardrive for errors and reload the gamefiles. then try again.

These are my logs.

forever.log
game.log
replay.log

EDIT: I also just noticed in the game log right at the end, it says something about running out of memory.
