So basically I've been having this issue of red artifacting(dots) on my monitor since a couple of months

I have a i7 7700, gtx 1080 16gb ram PC with a b250 gigabyte board
Since the past couple of months there has been a lot of artifacting occurring on my screen. The bigger problem is not the artifacting but that the monitor keeps showing black screen which keeps happening while in game. All this while I thought it was a problem of my gpu so I plugged it out of the system and tried to connect via the motherboard display output. Same issue. There's artifacting on the screen. Is it result of some lose wires or something? That may result in this, I really need to know what's going on. Can it also be ram? Or something along those lines. Also the artifacting seem to reduce if I just shake the pc a bit. But then it comes back after some time. I really need to know what's going. Please help. Thanks in advance

That's why I suspected the wires earlier and asked if you had switched from whatever you were using to something else. That shaking makes it sound like one of the pins, either in your cable or socket, are not making good contact. But you said you had swapped the cable ruling that out as a cause.

Try a different cable as that is the easiest and cheapest troubleshooting step. If you can switch from whatever you are using now to a different connection type as well. IE if you are using DVI switch to HDMI or DP.

You've already tried it without the GPU so odds are it is a cable or monitor issue. I don't suspect your ram or CPU.

The thing is I've done that and it's not helping. I tried changing everything but I always have the same issue and it's artifacting not anything else. My gpu also can't be the issue since I tried booting PC without the thing and it yet showed up those artifacts

I actually have done that and it still shows those artifacts. That's the issue

I assume you've wiped and reinstalled your drivers already too. Wouldn't expect that but I'm running out of hardware troubleshooting.

I've never heard of the RAM or CPU causing issues with the display output. But if you have multiple sticks of ram try using just one. If that doesn't fix it try the other stick. It's pretty hard to swap a CPU as most of us don't have a spare sitting about. But that would be the next step. Some computer shops will do that for you as a troubleshooting step. After that it's down to the motherboard, which again you can sometimes have done at a computer shop.

Do you get the same artifacting in the BIOS screen?

Yes I do get artifacts in the bios screen. As soon as the computer boots up and shows gigabyte it has those artifacts all over the damn screen so i really don't know wtf is going on. I'm sure it's not the ram. I've swapped and done all that. Can it be due to a wiring issue? Like while plugging in wires one of them might just be a tad bit loose than it should be? Also the artifacting seems to reduce as soon as I like shake the pc a bit. Either it reduces or the screen goes completely black.
