Default Issues with new computer

I am having an issue where randomly my graphics will start to glitch, then everything will go invisible and freeze. The game will run smoothly, then completely crap out. Sometimes its within 5 minutes, sometimes two hours. It makes the game pretty much unplayable.

Two things I would try is either updating the drivers to the newest version or rolling them back to a version that worked if it ever played properly.

The other thing you can check is the GPU temperature using MSI Afterburner and make sure your card isnt going over 80 degrees Celsius.

Or use wineq2 lite. It's like magic.

I bought an HP envy x360 with an intel corei7. I copied the game over from my old lap top and was able to log in. However, whenever I get even the slightest lag spike all of my graphics start repeating themselves (it looks like I just won at solitaire with all the names repeating themselves in wavey lines). Sometimes it happens within a minute, sometimes it takes 1 hours, but it always happens. It appears that when I am looking around I get a lag spike facing one direction, then I am unable to look in that direction and pretty soon the entire game is frozen. I have attempted to change my graphics, my resolution, screen size, and frame rate. All have been totally unsuccessful. If anyone would offer any help, I would be very much in your debt.
Is wineq2 lite allowed? I know there are some rules about what I can and cannot run and don't want to break the rules. Also, is there a good place to download it from? I don't want to get a virus.

Using a graphics card fan or using cpu graphics? Maybe cooling is an issue. Check temps. Check for failed GPU fan if sep. card. Yes wineq is allowed.

The computer is not having any issues with overheating. Thats why I stopped using the old lap top, the fan is barely running, and it runs more when i play diablo 3.

Seriously, use wineq2 lite. If you want to fix your issue that is.
