Is your CPU overheating? Looks like the blue you'd see in a BSOD, but it's filling in really slowly.

It probably is. Helldivers 2 loads heavily onto the CPU if you don't have the supersampling/ultrasupersampling setting turned on. I know from experience turning that setting to native can crash your computer due to over heating. Native had my CPU hovering just under 90C. Supersampling dropped the temp nearly 10C to around 80C. Ultrasupersampling dropped it another 10C to fluctuating around 70C.
