Laptop NVIDIA GeForce GTX 870M Bugging out

Hi,
I have a problem with my video card. Examples below:

and

It runs all games like this with vectors and polygons coming off of characters and objects in the games at a rapid rate.

All of the drivers are up to date and I've done most everything I can think of to resolve the issue. I thought it might be because of over heating, but I let it cool down by keeping it turned off for 24+ hours and tried to start a game to the same result.

The rig is an MSI GS70 2PE Stealth Pro and the video card is NVIDIA GeForce 870m. The laptop itself is under a year old.

Thanks, and all ideas are welcome.

RMA it.

RMA it.

I was afraid this might come up. Going to use this as a last resort. Just seeing if there is anything else that could be done before this option.

Thanks for the quick reply though.

One of the problems with laptops is that you can hardly swap out anything. Usually the CPU and GPU are soldered in.

Do a Checkdisk and Virus Scan on your OS drive - see if anything has been corrupted.

Remove the laptop covers and blow the dust out with compressed air. Gt and use a laptop cooler. Maybe its getting too hot.

If these don't help, I'd say the RMA path is the one to take.
