Weird Graphic issue?!

Jan 9, 2015 8:24PM PST

Hello, i've been having this annoying and weird issue with my laptop lately. Whenever i lauch Hearthstone or League of legends my screen starts acting strangely.
Here are a few screenshots:

This only happens when i launch these two games. No other games seems to have that issue and i can freely use my pc for everyting other than that. I've updated all of my drivers and done pretty much everything i can think of, including taking apart my laptop, cleaning it and assembling it again.

I reinstalled windows and it fixed the issue for about 4-5 hours. Now not even that helps.

Spec:
Acer Aspire E1-470G-33214G1
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-3217U CPU @1.80 GHz 1.80 GHz
Graphics card: Nvidia GeForce 820M
OS Windows 7 ultimate 64bit

Yes. I've seen that before.

It's been almost always a graphics driver issue. NO, I don't have a fix if the laptop maker doesn't have drivers to handle this. There is that other issue where folk install other than the factory OS and well, that's another problem.

So, use the factory supplied OS and see if the maker has driver updates.

I managed to solve the problem by reinstalling windows, installing only the network driver then updating windows.
That leads me to belive that there is some sort of conflict between wondows and acer drivers, or something along the lines. I dont quite understand it.

Thanks for your aswer, it helped me alot.
