[SOLVED] How can I fix this weird graphic error (picture provided in the post)

Hi, in this past month, I've experienced some graphics error in all of my apps except for games (here's an example with discord

Also, I get bluescreens quite frequently (the one I got had the Driver_overran_buffer error).

Hope someone knows how to fix this!

What are your pc's specs?

Could be an incompatible driver or something, and worst case: your hardware.

And I usually update my graphic drivers with geforce experience

Just tried sfc/scannow and it says that some files are corrupted but it can't repair them.
So I tried DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth and DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

Try creating an Ubuntu live USB. Boot into Ubuntu and use it for a while. If the problem persists. It is likely a hardware issue. Usually artifacts like that are the GPU. But this is a pretty painless test.

You can also try to clean install your graphics drivers. The nVidia installer should have a clean install option. You can also try something more thorough like DDU.

Since I reinstalled my drivers from scratch, everything has been normal! Thanks!
