Wondering if anyone has a solution on how to fix this

It happens after bout 5mins of gameplay, just freezes for bout 20 seconds and then the all the textures get mixed up or something.and you carry on playing with messed up graphics.

My Graphics Card is all up to date, so any got any ideas?

    Some possible issues:

    Graphics card is overheating.

    Power supply can't handle the card and the system, not putting out enough power or faulty. This can occur if you have upgraded your RAM and/or graphics card, or hard drive, and have not paid attention to what your power supply can put out.

    Motherboard and/or graphics card aren't communicating well, or are faulty.

    Graphics card drivers aren't updated, or aren't compatible with your system and/or the game.
    Do you need help learning about patching the game, installing it, changing antivirus/firewall settings, changing network settings, learn how to use a computer, keeping your PC maintained and more?

    Double-check the wattage for your power supply, and your graphics card.

    Then check into how much power everything else on your system uses (hard drive, disc drive, motherboard, USB controllers, RAM, sound card, etc) and add up all the power usage that is going on. compare that to what your power supply puts out.

    Graphics cards can ask for a burst of power that rest of the system or the power supply can not handle. People upgrade their computers with new hardware all the time, but don't check or upgrade the power supply to handle all of it properly.
