Solution
You list neither the game nor your system specs. Both may be of help here.

Does this only happen in one game?

I would try:

  • ■ Different graphics drivers
    ■ Different games
    ■ Change the graphics settings in the game giving you problems
    ■ Make sure the game is up to date
    ■ Make sure the game is not modded
    ■ Make sure no game files are corrupted
    ■ Undo any overclocks for the purposes of testing
If the issue persists beyond a software solution, it could be hardware related. Your graphics hardware or power supply could be malfunctioning.
