Red dots and grey circles.

[BethanyAmelia]

So this afternoon I just noticed I had a "bunch" of red pixels clumped together at the bottom of my monitor with grey circles starting from one end of the monitor to the other.

I've tried updating everything, restarting my PC and still nothing. The most bizarre thing though is when I ran a dead pixel test they either appeared very lightly or not at all until I got to the green background where they were super bright red and the circles were very prominent.

I'm gonna guess my graphics card is starting to fail? Really doesn't seem like a monitor issue. I just want to be sure before I go spend unnecessary money replacing the wrong part.
