I have a EVGA GeForce GTX 770 4GB Dual FTW w/ EVGA ACX Cool, that I bought in December of 2013. Everything was great, until about a month ago. I have the latest drivers installed. When I upgraded drivers, it was a clean install for the drivers.  Happened with previous drivers as well. Card gets to about 85c to 90c degrees under load before it start flicking green lines across the screen.  Here is my system specs,
           4930K Cpu running stock speed
           EVGA X79 Dark MB
           32G Corsair ram
           840 Evo 500G SSD
           1200 Watt Power Supply
           running Windows 10. Also happened with Windows 8.1
 
Any help would be awesome, because this is very annoying when you are trying to play a game.

    You shouldn't let the card get any hotter than 80c. Try increasing your gpu fan speed to keep the card cooler to see if it helps get rid of the green lines.

    Tried that also, it just barely gets under 80C when 100 Fan speed. I probly should have mentioned that in the first post.

    Sounds like you may need to reapply the thermal paste on the gpu.

    I again just checked the Temp on the card with 100% fan with game running and it was at 80C and climbing slowly

    In that case you will probably need to rma the card as the card definitely shouldn't be running around 80c @ 100% fan speed.

    Make sure that your case is well ventilated as well, you want to have the hot air go up your case
