So, my laptop is new, about 6 months old... and everything was doing great but today, I played a game for 30 mins and then my game closed and there was a notification that something driver doesn't work, and 3 sec after it says that everything is good, when I tried to start it again loading screen was messed up(World of Tanks) and then I tried Far Cry 3 and there were appearing dots on every section of a game, so I'll include screenshot of it, please help me as soon as possible. I think graphics card is the problem. I tried to reinstall the drivers but it didn't help

4 Gb RAM
NVidia GeForce 940M
Intel i3 5005U
Windows 10 Pro 64-bit

It's not a sign of overheating, that said, the laptop still might be overheating.
The thing is laptop parts also have what we call "thermal throttling", the CPU/GPU slows down to cool itself.
That is most likely a GPU/GPU driver problem, try some older drivers or send it back to the store.
Do not open the laptop, that will void your warranty and you can't repair it anyway.

Nah probably a replace, GPUs are only temporary fixed by reflows.

I know but many repair shops do that to lower costs for themselves and still charge a premium price.
