Broken graphics card? - 2

I have had problems with my 2 year old laptop for a while now.

When playing, the game either crashes or the graphics errors make the game unplayable.

The problems begin at exactly 60 degrees Celsius…

Lenovo Legion Y520

Geforce GTX 1050ti

Intel core i5 7300HQ

Windows 10 (all drivers and bios are up to date)

when playing overwatch I get the following message after the game crashes: * Your rendering device was not recognized *

and in most other games a checkerboard pattern flickers across the screen, looks something like this

Benchmark the card?

Is that in all games or just a few games?

Yes works with no problems. Nothing works in all graphically demanding reindeer games

Then I would say it's the driver or the API / runtimes. Times would all cleanly uninstall and then reinstall.

I've uninstalled and reinstalled all of the drivers countless times… To no avail. What was that about API / runtimes?
