Its this crazy flickering that keeps happening after playing games for a period. But when it happens in games like Skyrim, it does it in EVERY game then and windows explorer. Nothing else though. It only occurs in games like Skyrim, Tropico 5, Company of Heroes 2, Payday 2. Shadows of Mordor is another one. I have to restart my PC to get it to go away. But it comes back eventually, it usually takes like 30+ minutes to occur.
Here's a gif: http://gyazo.com/8619db54132a8357122948e0bb27fed9 NOTE: It has never happened in the game on display, like I have that game at max settings and I can play it for 5 hours straight and it won't happen. ALSO, this is a VERY recent problem. I've clocked 50+ hours in Skyrim AND Payday 2 before this ever happened. One last thing, I have tried hooking up to another monitor, it occurs on that monitor as well so its not my monitor. I've tried a different DVI cable as well. I tried a fresh clean install of a new graphics driver,
I took the card out, cleaned it and redid the thermal paste. But that didn't fix it. Another gif to help: http://gyazo.com/8a7210c1be8bcf571a21df2a8e8f57f9

I have switched PCI-E slots and it did nothing. Is the card just dying? If I don't turn up my fan speed, the issue will happen very quickly in most games. If I turn it up I can play for about 45+ minutes and it won't occur. I usually don't play more than that between my responsibilities and other things so I can't confirm if it will happen.
Average temps are 60-70. 70-80 C in intensive games. In the game on display it never goes above 75. In some games it will be at 60ish C and still happen eventually.
