Recently, whenever I boot either of the video games that I most often play (League of Legends or Starcraft 2) the game will crash once it's underway. The screen freezes and has graphic glitches/pixellation across the screen and I have to turn off the PC with the power button, as ctrl-alt-delete has no response. At idle, my graphic card temp is 62 degrees C and the temp range across my cpu cores is 31-35 degrees C. Nothing is overclocked, I just run the computer at its stock settings. I have run a registry cleaner and antivirus and everything appears clean and trouble free. I defragment my HDD weekly. This only happens when I'm trying to play a game, it's fine when watching internet video, video saved to the HDD or photo editing.
