I would start by updating your motherboard BIOS. That version is over 3 years old and chances are there's a new one that might fix your issue.

Check that your GPU is seated well and that it has all the necessary power cords attached. If your monitor has multiple inputs, make sure the correct source is selected.

You shouldn't. My 360 wired controller was plug-and-play on W7, which leads me to believe it will be on W10.

I'd pull the heatsink/fan, scrape off the old thermal paste, reapply and reseat. It sounds like you don't have very good contact between the CPU and heatsink.

I can't speak to how CPU-intensive a software update it, but it could be. Get a stress tester like Prime95 and monitor your temps while it's running. That'll give you a better idea of temps under load.

What temps are you seeing when you OC it and what PSU do you have?

Then you'll need to apply your own thermal paste.

Should be on the factory heatsink.

Yeah, I'm at a bit of loss... maybe some hardware failures occurring, but your rig shouldn't have any issues with those games. I wish I could be of more help, but you may have to wait for someone else to chime in.

What games are you having the issue with?

Since you're having RAM issues, did you remove one of the modules? I might be causing you issues if it's still installed, but not functioning properly. Make sure that your graphics drivers are up to date as well. Any idea what your temps are when these issues occur?

Beat me to the PC specs part lol. How about your power supply?

Sounds like artifacts which I believe are caused by overheating. Can you post your PC specs?

Check that your BIOS isn't assigning that memory to the onboard GPU.
