I used my desktop PC about 2 weeks ago and had no problems. Its been running a bit slow so have been wanting to do a clean format for a while. This morning, it was slow so i removed all unnessesary software to see if that would make a difference also disabled some startup programs. After rebooting, i started seeing graphical glitches, like pixelations. I figured something i installed messed something up and since i wanted to do it anyway, I did a reformat and reinstall of Windows.
Everything seemed fine, i updated nvidia drivers and the board msi drivers. Then noticed the problems again. pixelation and just crashes/freezes. I did another clean format/install and this time just gave it time without installing any drivers but happened again even without nvidia drivers.
The monitor i hooked up to is fine, and i also changed hdmi cables. The issue happens randomly, not while using anything specific. When i had the nvidia drivers i used a free benchmark software and didnt have any issues. Dxdiag also didnt return any problems. The installation worked just fine without freezing and I also spent a chunk of time in safe mode with no issues. I've attached screenshot of what the pixelation i am talking about looks like. Could my card be dying on me?
