Everytime I play games my PC would randomly freeze and this happens:

Then need to hold power button to force shutdown. I assume it's not monitor since both monitors display those lines. But according to HWMonitor gpu temp never reaches 75'C while gaming. Launched 3d mark oso freeze before it completed.

GPU most likely? How to test further? I don't have a spare graphics card. Or maybe another part that's dying?
