I am getting lines in my games and lines on black webpages. I have drivers installed. What do I do to fix it?

I'm not even going to go into all the reasons this is a terrible idea. You have an HD 6970. How old is it? It's very likely you just have an old GPU that is failing. There is no way a card suddenly develops artifacts because here on 5 years after it was new it suddenly needs tin foil on the VRAM. I would think that tin would actually act as an insulator and make the card run hotter. There is a reason no heat sinks are made with it.

I dont have my GPU overclocked. I have thermal paste, but I dont have thermal pads. Where can I buy thermal pads?

Wouldnt the thermal paste spill out the sides? Can you explain how to make those thermal pads?
