I was having weird pixelated reflections in Battlefront 2 (and I couldn't find a solution to it) so I DDU'd the drivers and installed an older, known good driver. After the issue persisted, I switched battlefront 2 to DirectX 12 and the issue stopped, but now sometimes when I alt-tab out of the window I get proper artifacts on the screen. They're usually pink/white wavy stripes or green lines. A couple times I also saw these artifacts on the models of characters in-game (when I was alt-tabbing back into the game) but I didn't manage to get that on video. As you can see in the video, towards the end it magically stopped happening, but before the recording I was able to reproduce it pretty consistently. Before this issue, I've had all kinds of graphical issues, mainly with reflections and shadows. Here is the video link:

There is absolutely no way this is a driver issue considering it happened the day I DDU'd the drivers so then it has to be a hardware issue right?
The reason I recorded it with my phone is because OBS wouldn't show the screen properly when I alt-tabbed so it didn't show the artifacts.
Another issue I had this same day is that while playing Minecraft, randomly the whole screen went black except for the HUD which remained visible (this happened before I DDU'd the drivers, so it was on the latest driver). This problem however was fixed after I joined a new game (I was playing on a server).
EDIT: Another symptom is that after alt-tabbing multiple times, my in-game FPS drops by alot.
EDIT2: In the video you can only see green/orange lines but when I was testing earlier the colors were different each time, sometimes pink/white, sometimes yellow/green etc. and they would come in different shapes and sizes too.
