Ok so just yesterday I thought (and used to think) that my Graphics Card is starting to die. Evertime I run a game it loads fine, but then after a minute or two I start seeing wierd large dots of all colors and lines and just alot of messed up stuff. So I rolled back my drivers, did a 3D Mark Vantage Test (which failed).
However when I was using my computer to listen to music just now (Video works fine outside of games... sometimes) and My display turned off and my music started to stutter, when it came back on it said at the bottom "Video Card Driver Recovered." Aand again I started seeing particles at this point.
But my question is, if it was the GPU, why did the music in the background stutter? I did a cpu test, which passed, and I can do CPU intensive work like zipping and extracting files and more so its not my CPU. Could it be my power supply?
Im about 20% sure its my graphics card, but I can't be sure. I also don't have a PSU tester and I really don't want to go buy one. Is there someone who has seen this situation before?
EDIT: My computer will not turn on properly, when I turn it on, it is a black screen an I don't think it is even booting to windows, starting to think it's my PSU that's the problem.
