My computer screen starts to flicker with images getting stretched and moving around all over screen. This only happens when i play a game for about 15min, it doesn't do this while im doing other things except gaming. The screen flickers, and after i close the game, after awhile it stops. I asked a friend, and he said the drivers may be going bad, and todo a complete wipe and reinstall windows 10. what do you guys think?

don't think it is a software issue as it only happens in games. I'm thinking videocard because of the game stress or the psu. can you try the card in another computer to see if does same thing while play that game or similar?

might be hard for me to try and find someone else with a system, but I will try. I was also thinking about replacing my psu since it has coil wine which annoys me, and the warranty has run out.
