if you haven't, update your graphics card's drivers. i'd get it from AMD or NVidia if you know your model number. if you don't, download gpu-z (techpowerup.com/gpuz/) and find out that way, then get it from AMD or NVidia. you may be able to get a firmware update from your card manufacturer, too.

otherwise, the card could be under-powered (cheap or bad PSU) or overheating. you can use gpu-z (alt-tab while in game to view temperature).

you may be able to use the windows 'event viewer' to see if any errors are obvious there.

good luck!

Yeah I'd be willing to answer more 1 on 1 without anyone who can go into more detail, i'm afraid my knowledge is too lacking. I need an expert here. But I will provide what I know.

I have 7.1.740.0 Nvidia Drivers.
temps are 70 degrees celcius during load.

Another common cause of problems is dust / dirt / pet hair inside your PC case.

shutdown windows, UNPLUG FROM THE WALL FIRST

And then open your case to see how much dust / dirt / pet hair is inside your case. Blow out whatever you can see inside using just your breath.
