[SOLVED] White lines across the monitor with GTX980

[Aryanj2860]

Hi guys!
I built my PC about 4.5 years ago.
The following are my spec for reference:
Asus Gtx980
I7 6700k
8gb ram

All of a sudden the output from my GPU to my monitor has been really odd. There are white lines across the monitor like so:

I removed my 980 and put in a 950 and the output now is ok which means it's a GPU based problem rather than a monitor based issue. Can someone help me figure out what's wrong with my 980?

This looks like a GPU VRAM corruption issue, imo. You can't do anything if the GPU is fried.
