So, I was bored one day and decided to jump back into X-Com: Enemy Unknown. As soon as the Intro finished, I saw that at the main menu, there were red lines and dots on certain areas of the screen. I decided to restart the game and see If it would go away, it wouldn't. So I gave up and decided to play some Smite. Same issue. Confused, I looked to see if any one else had the same issue. I couldn't find anything. So I decided to see if there was a connection in these games. I looked and saw that they both were running Unreal Engine 3. To test my theory, I loaded up another game, Nosgoth, which also ran Unreal Engine 3. It too had red lines and dots. I did notice that the red lines and dots would go away in Nosgoth if I had it set to medium graphics settings.

I play games on my laptop, which has Intel i5-3337U with integrated Intel HD 4000 graphics. So I'm assuming there is an issue with my graphics card. Yes, my drivers are up-to date. Any ideas on what to do?

Here are the screenshots from X-Com: Enemy Unknown and Nosgoth
