So, for a little while now, my computer's been having a nasty habit of crashing during games. It started about a month ago, but recently it's been happening several times a day. It's always a sudden crash, with the game working just fine until my display freaks out and with a wide variety of errors. I caught a picture of one below, although some of them affect more of the screen than this.

I'm thinking it's an issue with my graphics card (an AMD Radeon HD 7700 series), possibly with it overheating, but it never exceeds 65 or so Celsius. I have the latest drivers, and I've made sure there's no dust anywhere in the computer. If any more information is needed, I'll be glad to provide.
 
Have you left the cover off and turned it on to make sure all the fans are working? Also just because the fans are working does not mean they are creating cool air. The room temperature is just as important. If it is warm in the room, you may want to run another fan that circulates air better around the outside of the computer also.
 
I have confirmed the fans are working, and I always prefer a cool room. However, my computer is in a rather enclosed area, so circulation may be the problem. I'll try finding a fan of some sort to try that.
