    So I just finished the 4th campaign (blood harvest) and after doing so, when I got back to the main menu, it looked like this:

    I don't know if its a graphics card issue, or an L4D issue, or what. My temps in the campaign never broke 88C

    It looks like a graphics driver issue for sure.

    I know that you are the sort of person that monitors your temperatures OP, as I know from the Asus forum, but what temperatures are you getting?

    It may be your GPU on the way, if not, try updating or switching drivers.

    I stated my temperatures in the first post, I never went above 88C. I haven't seen a temp above 95C since a 3DMark test I did overclocked to the hilt a couple weeks after I got it. Since then its been 92C or below on any game I've played. Most maxing at 90C and stabilizing at 85-86C
