Screen freeze, spike, splits while gaming.

Recently, my pc ran into trouble. When I start to play a game on it, screen freezes, splits and black horizontal lines appear.
Sometimes, OS is working and I can quit game and switch to dekstop. Screen remains splitted with black lines. After 15-20 minutes , I get a notification that GPU driver has recovered, and screen gets normal again. When I start to play game, it happens again. Happens with all the games.
Other times, full system gets hanged and I have to take out plug to restart it. When it restarts everything is fine.
Already did a graphics driver update. Uninstalled and reinstalled the latest driver.
Some pics of the error hapening :

First thing I'd do is run Guru3d's driver sweeper, then re-install the drivers. I know you said you uninstalled and re-installed but this is more thorough and effective. Assuming it still persists, which i'm betting it does, I think it's time for a new GPU.

Time for PS4.

Not the best time to buy into Sony haha. I actually had a ps4 and a Xbox one, ended up selling the ps4. Loved the controllers and the build quality, but to me the graphics difference was in noticeable, and if I wanted something to look good, I get it on PC. So given the xbox's extra features I chose it. Not saying its better then the ps4, just giving you a probably less considered viewpoint. The ps4 was nice, but I just ended up not buying more games for it.

Hey I know It's been a really long time since this thread was started but I'm facing a very similar issue on my System too!
Could you just tell me how did you fix your problem?
