The games were operating smoothly until I noticed my central processing unit was overheating. I removed the heatsink and replaced the thermal adhesive, as well as formatting the hard drive. Following these steps, the games ran satisfactorily for approximately ten to fifteen minutes before the display began exhibiting strange distortions – texture rips, black and brown lines covering the screen, and other unusual artifacts. This issue affects all games, but is particularly pronounced with *AC Origins*. It’s incredibly irritating, and I would appreciate some assistance.

Let's start with what your system specs are and maybe a picture/video of the screen while it happens? Apart from what you mentioned, what else have you tried? Has anything else changed like Windows or driver updates?
