Computer's Video Card done for?
Hello fellow forum users!
In recent times, my computer has started bugging out (again) whenever I play just about any game. After a while, the screen will flash, then a screen with (usually a certain color) stripes going down it will appear, and my computer will freeze.
This is a picture of the stripe things:

I'm speculating it has something to do with a faulty or corrupted video card, but I wanted some other opinions before taking action. If anyone knows what this is all about, that'd be great!
Thanks for your time!

P.S. It's totally fine while not playing any games.

I've never witnessed, when a video card or drivers are bad, a screen displaying a clean and uniformed picture that lasts long enough to take a snap shot.
Since it works well otherwise, perhaps it is your CPU temps being exceeded?

It sounds like your video card is getting hot, Have you checked to see if the video fan is working?
