Are you on the third level of Watcher's Keep?

There are some rooms which are flush with wild magic and others are dead magic zones. This has played hell with me because I've got Imoen, Aerie and Nalia in my party, so the dead magic areas cause me to do a lot of creative cussing.

So it may be the game (intentionally) and not your machine.
