HI. This will usually occur if the actual new updated driver pack is corrupted or flawed through no fault of your own. I would recommend to restore the previous working driver. This will restore stability until a new update is available. This will happen from time to time, due to the fact that, many driver updates may be packed incorrectly or built with flawed code. Simply rollback to the previous driver to correct the issues with the overheating. Continuing to run this defective new driver pack will damage your chip set.

Your graphics card may be performing pooly because it is too hot. Ensure that the tempreatures are within range. You don't want it over 65deg Cen. Install at least one fan in your computer's chassis. Clean the graphics cooler and the CPU cooler of dust, this will increase airflow and reduce those temperatures.

You may need an upgrade either CPU, Graphics or RAM.
I can't tell you for sure as I don't know the secifications of your Gaming Rig.
Post them and I will tell you if it is your hardware.

Take care!

If the pc works the same when you boot in Safe Mode then the video card has failed - buy a new one.
If the pc works in Safe Mode then the video driver is corrupted - uninstall it then reboot normally then go here and download the latest available driver.
