Recently my water cooling broke and I didn't know for 2 days and in those days I tried to run games which I think harmed my cpu in terms of heating. I figured out it was the cooling so I replaced it with new water cooling. for the next few days I was able to run games just fine and everything was back to normal up until today now some games are crashing the same way they did before. the 2 games I've tried to play are Batman: Arkham Knight and Dark Souls III and both seem to crash in different ways. In Dark Souls III when I load in the textures will start to glitch and move randomly and I'll have black lines moving rapidly around the screen till it results in it crashing and I have to force close it with task manager. In Arkham Knight when I load in the screen will flicker black and a dark pink then it crashes and gives me a huge error. I suspect that this could be a damaged cpu but I'd like to know if there's any other options.
My specs
GeForce GTX 770
Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3570K CPU @ 3.40GHz
8.00 GB RAM
ASUS P8H61-I R2.0 Motherboard
Corsair H55 water cooling

+1 on it being the GPU. CPU issues don't cause texture problems, black lines, etc. They cause straight up crashes. Something happened to it somehow whether some liquid got on it and dried out, or somehow running the system with liquid on something caused some sort of damage, its definitely the GPU thats failing.

If you have access to another gpu, try it in place of yours. You could also try using your integrated graphics. Gaming performance will be horrible most likely but that's not really what you're looking for. Just a way to check the games and see if that sort of artifacting appears. If not then it's most likely your graphics card. Maybe water got on something you weren't aware of.

You said your water cooler broke for 2 days and you didn't know it which means it had 2 days for small amounts of liquid to get someplace they shouldn't have and short something, the heat of the gpu could have dried up small drops of water and the damage could have already been done.

I am sure it's the gpu that is the problem now, I used the Unigine Valley program and it crashed the same way as in game
