So recently after 1-2 years my screen gets massive flickers then goes into a solid color screen with lines on it. I have to hard restart it to get it back to normal, This only happens under load but it used to just happen when I had youtube running or just browsing the web. I've reinstalled drivers as well as updated them, Updated my video cards bio's, I reinstalled windows so now at this point I'm spectating it's a hardware issue but before I go out and buy a new gpu is there any other ways I could fix this? I really don't want to go out and buy a new card with how expensive they are now.
