Alright, so my title is vague and that's because I suck with titles, moving along..
As I play some games I've bought I notice after awhile of playing (hour perhaps) the games will crash. And if I look closely at my screen (sometimes I don't even have to look close) there is rippling going on in the screen but it goes away after said game is closed for a few minutes.
I'm under the impression that my video card, CPU or both are being stressed out and hence the crashing. Maybe you can shred some light on it.
Games I've Played Which Crashed:
Tomb Raider (I played it today, it crashed after about an hour.)
Prototype 2 (Again, after awhile of playing it crashed, this is the first time)
Far Cry 3 (I beat the game awhile ago, but I'll bring it up any way because I've never played such an unstable game before - it crashed repeatedly, playing it constantly for days, it crashed more than twice a day)
