Okay, so recently i moved my rig so that the back faced a wall and essentially, the air is blowing directly at the wall (i'm stating this in the case that it's a heat problem due to the location of the pc). When playing graphically demanding games such as GTA 5 and Doom, i begin to experience strange flashes that take up the whole screen consisting of dark colors and sometimes just black and white. This has happened on CSGO as well, though, its only happened once and came randomly and the flashes were more colorful and didn't take up the whole screen. I'm guessing this is a temp issue, as putting up my fan speed usually fixes this but i'm not sure. The temps i received weren't extremely hot and the most i saw was around 88 for Doom. I'm going to list my specs below just in case there's an issue not related to the Gpu, the XFX factory overclocked 8gb RX480 blower design. Can anyone please explain what this is and how i can fix it? thanks

My specs
FX6300 @4.2ghz
RX480
12gb ddr3 1600mhz ram
500w EVGA power supply
GA-78LMT-USB3 mobo
(I have a vg245 monitor w/ freesync on if that helps as well)
