I was monitoring my gpu temps and at 50% they went from 40-ish at idle to mid 60s when it started getting crazy so I don't think that's the issue
EDIT: I've also tried cleaning and updating gpu drivers. No dice. There was also one BSOD after getting that striped screen after waiting a few minutes. It said something along the lines that there was a problem communicating with GPU
