i have had this pc for about 8 years so its pretty old, recently i have this problem that whenever i try to play games after some time visual bugs would appear on the screen such as jittering,tearing,pixels appering/disappearing its similar to a driver problem however pc would freeze and i would have to restart it. I only would experience this problem when i try to play games(it doesnt matter if the game is depending on good hardware or not) but now it started to happen when even pc is idle or im not playing any games. i have updated my drivers and tried to check the system temperatures to see if the pc was overheating but it wasnt.
