I've already tried with a clean install of Windows. I'll probably run DDU and install an older driver or a beta driver and see. It that doesn't work i'll RMA it.

Thank you for the advice. This is probably the way i have to go. I was just hoping it could be software-related.

Yes, it's only happening at random times. And when it doesn't happen there are no issues at all. I'm thinking about RMA'ing the GPU, but i'm worried they won't be able to reproduce the issue.

Hi LTT forums, I'm writing in here in the hopes of getting an issue with my new build sorted out. It was assembled last week, and specs are: Intel Core i7-7700k 2x8GB Corsair LPX 3000MHz Samsung EVO 850 500GB M.2 SSD Nvidia Geforce GTX 1080Ti Founders Edition Asus Z270i Strix Mini-ITX Corsair SF600 SFX PSU The issue is that i'm randomly getting some artifacts on windows boot, as shown below. It happens like every other reboot. When it doesn't show up, it boots without issues and the system runs great. I am unsure whether or not this is GPU related because: 1. It shows BIOS-screen with no issues. It happens right when it starts to load windows. 2. When i'm in the system, it runs without issues. I can game for hours on end and put the card through benchmarks (Furmark, 3DMark, UserBenchmark) with no errors at all. When it shows the artifacts, it just fails to boot and hangs at a black screen and never moving forward. I've attached an image showing the artifacts, and this video shows exactly when it happens: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KRkDfof1zYI&feature=youtu.be
