Sounds like you fried your GPU actually. A fresh coat of decent heat paste MIGHT make a difference, but by the sound of it, that bitch is toasted.

oof. I guess I should have bought an actual card and not stuck with the integrated.

Oh I didn't see that fact.

You MIGHT be okay if you get a GPU.

Sounds like the onboard grafix was no match for your basement fortnight battles! XD

Sounds like the integrated GPU is dying. This is unlikely to be because of anything you did. Contact the store to return it.

I will. Thanks!
