Recently my PC start to artifact to the point I have to turn the PC off and back on myself. Very rarely does it actually fix itself but it has. This normally occurs when I am playing games. I saw a post saying to download MSI Afterburner and test it and every time I did a test it did crash. I am not sure if that is significant or not. The normal error I tend to see on crashes is --The description for Event ID 14 from source nvlddmkm cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer --. However that's only when it gives a error in event viewer which it normally doesn't

Components:
-Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40GHz
-Nvidia GTX 1060 3gb
DxDiag Snip
 
Okay....IMO, those are indeed signs of artifacts, mostly due to a faulty GPU, VRAM corruption. Which Motherboard do you have ? Does it have support for onboard/integrated graphics ?

Can you test the card on some other PC ?
