Well i was playing guild wars 2 earlier and all of a sudden, my screen started to bug out.
My computer wasn't overheating because i keep the temp recorded and it said 37 degrees celsius. Everything on my screen seemed to be distorted and stretched. Some things looked as if it was angled so you see it in a different angle. It isn't happening anymore since i restarted my computer but i need help to prevent it from happening in the future and also know what's going on
 
Solution
Try running the GPU at default clocks while gaming. If it runs fine then your GPU is fine. Overclocking should be done on a step by step basis.

If the problem is only happening while you are gaming then it can be any one of the following problem:

1. Too much overclocking
2. May be a driver issue. That can be solved by using a newer driver.
3 GPU may be starting to fail soon.
