Hi LTT forums. so over the past few years ive had my trusty HD7950 and all has been good until recently, in the last year or so ive been getting into overclocking it and increasing the overclock every now and then just to test the limits. today i encountered a very odd issue. At first my Graphics card was stuck at 500mhz (i previously had it at 1.1ghz) and would not change; however reinstalling afterburner and restarting my pc fixed it. then about 5 or 10 minutes later, after reapplying my overclock, i started to get artifacts on the desktop. I tried lower overclocks but it seems anything over stock causes the artifacts. so i overclocked as normal and tried to play a game (PUBG) and i got no artifacts whatsoever in the game. when i have my gpu on stock speeds and voltages, there are no artifacts on the desktop at all. I've tried switching monitors to my old monitor i had before replacing it with my current one and there was no artifacts in windows on that monitor. so im really confused as to what the problem is could it be the overclock or possibly just the dual monitor setup? or is my 7950 finally dying? any help would be greatly appreciated!!

GPU: PowerColor R9 280x (3072MB) Stock Settings: Core Voltage: 1144 mV Power Limit: 0% Core Clock: 1030 MHz Memory Clock: 1500 MHz Averaged Settings (GPU Overclocking Database): Core Voltage: 1200 mV Power Limit: 10% Core Clock: 1169 MHz Memory Clock: 1697 MHz My Current Settings: Core Voltage: 1250 mV Power Limit: 16% Core Clock: 1205 MHz Memory Clock: 1730 MHz During the Unigine Valley Benchmark testing, I noticed several occurances of screen tearing and few occurrences of white artifacts here and there. Any cause for concern?

Ok so I'm a display noob, best to start off confessing that... I use a probably 3+ year old1080p Logik l22ldib11a TV (it was cheap af) as a monitor on my main pc, running 1080p60.. the issue is that recently I've noticed that display out is "artifacting" - not the kind of artifacting like you may get from GPU OCs but more like random dark looking vibrating pixels only ever on random images/videos (see pictures) I've tried pressing against them because why not, and nothing... Changing picture settings on the display might fix the issue in one place, but make it appear in another... It's definitely not the cable I'm using or my GPU as I've tried a different cable, and tried connecting the display to a laptop, but issue persists Anyone got any ideas for a fix?

Hello, I'm new to the forum, but am a LTT fan for quite a while. Always was kinda jealous, because I nevere once had a descent computer, so after ryzen launched, I finally had enough and started griding for my build. The build is not finished yet, but it's not far either. Current build: CPU: AMD Ryzen 1700 RAM: G.skill trident Z RGB 16gb 3200mhz MOBO: Asrock x370 Killer sli GPU: GTX460 (my friends, borrowed it while I don't have one of my own) SSD: Samsung 960EVO 250gb HDD: Hitachi 270gb (from my old laptop) PSU: EVGA Supernova G3 650W The problem: So, the problem I'm having is on screen artifacting. These horizontal moving lines. Like most of you, I thought that finally the GPU had it's time, I mean, it is 6 years old. The pc crashed on me after I launched cs go and played for a few minutes. Many light blue squares (filled, they weren't transperent) flashed on screen and made a diagonal pattern filling the screen. Note, my pc was running with cruical ram, on that hitachi drive for a month, before rest of the parts came. It was working fine I did a few things before the crash occured. First, I copied the hitachi drive content to the samsung ssd with the samsung migration tool, updated the bios. Everything was still fine, was playing games for quite a while. I thought I may do some overclocking on the cpu. I got this idea, because while downloading the bios update, there was a asrock tuner and rgb software and I thought I may try it, see what it has on it. The rgb software ran like a charm, but after I rebooted the pc, it wouldn't launch, windows was spitting out an error, which indicated, that the program was trying to access something, that it has no premission to, reinstalled it many times, no difference. I did a 3.5ghz overclock on the tuner software, pc froze for a sec and then everything came back, after that I tried a 3.75ghz and the pc froze, no bsod, just was sitting there for minutes. I know my cpu can handle 3.75ghz, I've ran it on 3.9ghz before. After waiting for a few minutes I turned the pc off via power button. Turned it back on and went to bios, to dial back to 3ghz. But some weird artifacting poped up (the horizontal lines), after dialed the setting and rebooted, everything was fine. It was then, when I ran cs go and it crashed with blue squares. Since then I have these mobing horizontal lines, that wont go away. My pc wouldn't boot into windows, it would just crash on loading screen. It would flash with black and white checkerboard pattern and just go blank. The pc wouldn't restart, it kept running. After I changed the card to the other slot I could boot to windows, but the lines still were there and the flash on the boot screen was also there. When it booted, the resolution was weird, like 1280x720. First thing I saw, was that there was no Nvidia control panel, checked the device manager and it showed "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)". Reinstalled the drivers, nothing, uninstalled through device manager, downloaded the latest off nvidia, nothing. The same problem. But, after installed the newest drivers, pc won't boot to windows anymore. Went to my friends house and put the gpu in his rig and everything was working fine, even ran furmark with no problems. I tried running on 1 memory stick, swapped to other stick and ran on that, nothing, no luck. Reflashed the bios, nothing. Disconnected all cables from the mobo that went from psu and connected them back, making sure they are 100% connected. Checked the psu connections, mobed the vga power cable to the second port. I don't know, but I think it may be the mobo. Going to go to my friends with the whole rig, trying to put his gpu in mine and seeing if the problem still is there. I seriously don't know what to do, I'll put some pictures up, so maybe someone can get the idea of what is going on here. Any help would be appreciated. 51964228010__001ADF77-10B2-457A-B258-4DB7B2F07D41.MOV IMG_5034.MOV

What is wrong with my GPU? I alt-tabbed and got this on my screen. It's the second time it happens btw.

I recently got my hands on a PAL SNES and I've just been able to hook it up to a TV and I encountered some issues. There's always graphical glitches that cover quite a bit of the screen and a constant buzzing noise. The game runs fine but with the graphical bugs and buzzing. Some other forums I've never heard of before say that certain chips need to be replaced or the entire motherboard or suggest cleaning kits that'll probably take weeks to be shipped. Has anyone got any suggestions? Any help whatsoever would be greatly appreciated.

Hey, I've noticed weird artifacts when gaming with my new Gigabyte 1070 Windforce OC card. Some shapes leave their shadows when moving. That happens across many games - Total War: Attila and Battlefield 1 among others. That's how it looks like: I've upgraded my computer from 970 to 1070, uninstalling the drivers with ddu in the process. The rest of the system is: Gigabyte GA-H97N-WIFI, Core i3 4370 8 GB RAM The drivers are newest from Geforce Experience. I contacted the support and they told me to update card's BIOS, which I did, but the problem remains. Anyone of you encountered this kind of glitches before? What do you think it might be caused by? Any idea how to solve it?

I have recently got a new monitor, the Acer Predator XB271HUA, and have noticed fairly bad artifacting in in gradients. I then compared them to my brothers monitor, he has a Acer Predator XB241YU, same panel, just one size down. And his artifacts are no where near as bad. Here is a link to the comparison: https://imgur.com/a/LjIxPL2 Is this normal? They are both TN panels. Also, I ordered the XB271HUA, but got the Acer Predator XB271HU, without the A, is there a difference? Here is the link to The Witcher image I used: https://i.imgur.com/80AkXne.jpg

My GPU has been experiencing some really strange problems. I know it's the GPU, because the problem isn't present with another AMD GPU. So basically everytime my PC isn't shut down properly will result in artifacts when I boot it up next time, even if I cut off the power to the PSU and wait for a while. Like it remembers it. Fixing it sounds quite simple, but it's actually not... To fix it I simply have to boot it up (with artifacts or not) and shut it down through windows. I won't have any artifacts next time when I shut it down through windows. However, with the artifacts my PC is so unstable that I'll take like 5 tries to get into windows, I'll just lock up (freeze) so badly that I can't get into windows and shut it down properly. Also when my PC doesn't have artifacts there is still a chance that it freezes 15 minutes into a game, which requires me to reset it and this results in artifacts again. (It's more stable without artifacts) The artifacts are also not too extreme. They don't fill the entire screen most of the time. Sometimes it's also not only blocks, but like a massive blue triable that covers my screen briefly. I've also seen it cause changes to colors in windows, for example: it once changed the windows progress bar (when launching Steam) from Green into blue. What have I tried: - Reinstall windows 10; - Reflash the vbios; - Try a different bios (my GPU has 2); - Different drivers; - Different GPU (fixed it), but I would like my R9 290x back. TL;DR R9 290x wants to be shut down properly. It won't stop giving me artifacts until I manage to boot into windows and shut down. Cutting the power won't even fix it. Card is also very unstable and locks up my computer often.

Hello everyone and thank you for taking your time for reading this post. So lately I've been experiencing this weird problem. Not always, but sometimes, doesn't matter if I shutdown my PC or restart it, the whole system freezes and then there's a BSOD for like a milisecond and the BSOD happens so fast, Windows can't even create a dump file and I cannot find it and analyse the error. The system freezes completely and the upper left corner of my screen is split in half. The left side is a bit bigger than a half and that side is red filled with white dots. The right side of the rectangle is black. Nothing happens and the system won't unfreeze or turn off/restart. I don't really think it has to do with an overheating issue as all my parts actually stay relatively cool both while gaming and doing nothing in the background and while doing some light multitasking. While booting up the PC, the lowest CPU temp I saw was 17°C and it mostly hovers around 20°C. While gaming, it reaches temperatures anywhere between 55°C and 60°C, depending on how much it's getting utilized. The GPU idles at about 30°C and while gaming, anywhere between 65°C and 80°C. My Harddrive and two SSDs hover in the mid 30s. I really don't know why this is happening and while gaming, I have no issues whatsoever, no strange stuttering or crashes or artifacts appearing on screen, everything is perfectly smooth, It only happens when shutting down or restarting. And it's only happening sometimes.

Hey everyone, I noticed some strange artifacts within games like Witcher 3, AC: Odyssey, MK11 and even WoW. Basically on some fade-in/fade-out effects, for example in WItcher when you walk pass a tree and it fades out as the camera goes through it, it should fade out, but in my case it... pixelates out. Same behavior in AC; in WoW with some water spells (bubbles that splash around chars or npcs) and recently in MK11 when the fight starts, this can be noticed around the hair and faces of characters, not in the cutscenes tho. The performance and temps are more than ok, so I'm wondering if my PSU could be the issue here, since I didn't changed it when I built my new PC and considered that 600W should be enough. Or if the GPU could be at fault... is there a name for this problem? In order to tell the guys at the service what the exact issue is. Few notes: 1. I don't overclock (except the profile for RAM if it counts) 2. GPU driver is the latest as I'm writing this 3. In high load, coil noise can be heard, but I can't pinpoint if the PSU or GPU is making the noise 4. If I were to test with other components... I can't do this. I don't have anyone from where to borrow another GPU or PSU (similar specs), to test what is at fault Specs: CPU: Intel Core i7-8700 GPU: Nvidia 1070ti SSD1: Samsung 850 EVO 250GB SSD2: Samsung 860 EVO 1TB HDD: Western Digital 1TB Blue RAM: Corsair Vengeance 2x8GB DDR4 3600MHz CL18 Dual Channel RGB LED MBD: Asus TUF Z370-PRO GAMING Socket 1151 v2 tuf z370-pro gaming PSU: Sirtec - High Power Element BRONZE 600W (oldest piece from this list) Thanks in advance!

Hello Guys. Sometimes I have these weird big lines showing/popping up during gaming. I dont have them on the dekstop or watching a movie, just Ingame (all games so far). Sometimes they do look like in the picture and sometimes it´s just a thin black line showing on the screen (flashing in) and then they disappear for a second. The Card is new. Are those Artifacts - is the Card dying? They dont show up on Heaven-stress test or 3D Mark

Hey guys, I'm having two issues with my PC and I can't seem to figure this out.... *Breath in and out* So it all started when I created a seperate Win 10 VHD on my SSD(860 EVO 500GB) that was running Win 8.1, the reason for this was because I just bought a freesync monitor(g sync comp) and needed win 10 to use g sync. I started to notice there were graphical issues starting to pop up in Windows 8.1 (In the Charm bar), so I removed the VHD and instead of creating a VHD I just created a new partition on my SSD refreshed Windows 8.1 and reinstalled win 10 on the new partition. it worked fine for a a couple of days and Windows 8.1 started getting artifacts again (In the charm bar), so out of fear of corrupting my data I deleted the Win 10 VHD and just kept win 8.1 on my SSD. I sometimes see small artifacts when windows is booting (on the circle dot loading animation) I see artifacts on the lock screen sometimes, I see artifacts when I use the charm bar and start menu, I see artifacts when I use browsers (It's a little better on chrome, but they still happen) (Videos are totally unaffected by the artifacts, so I still watch YT videos and enjoy Netflix, sort of..I'll explain) and when I try to play PUB G,CSGO,TF2 I get artifacts, but MW2 works just fine. Then I tried installing Windows 10 and the artifact issues followed, except now their is a static sound issue (This is why I "sort of" enjoy videos) and the static sound issue is fixed only when I'm playing music or a video locally with WMP and using headphones. (Weird, I know) Here are all the things I've tried and my specs. [SPECS] MB: Z170I Pro Gaming CPU: Intel Core i5 6600K CPU Cooler: CRYORIG H7 GPU: EVGA GTX 1070 SC BLACK EDITION RAM: G.SKILL Aegis 8GB 3000Mhz 2x SSD: Samsung 860 EVO 500GB HDD: Western digital Blue 1TB HDD PSU: SILVERSTONE SFX Series SX600-G 600W Case: SKTC Q1 (I now have my PC out of the case, for obvious reasons.) [What I've tried before coming here] Fresh installing and refreshing windows 8 and 10 and even 7, multiple times. Booting win 8 and 10 on my HDD seperately, and then booting ubuntu on a flash drive, problem persists. Underclocking RAM, CPU AND GPU Overclocking CPU AND GPU, not RAM though..I don't wanna break it (lol) Tried each ram indiviudally in all slots, and ram together in different slots Ran RAMtest and windsows memory diagnostics, no errors ! Ran Furmark, no artifacts (weird, I know) Switching the SATA and PSU cables Trying a different PSU I have Trying a different motherboard I have Reseated and repasted CPU on my ASUS and GIGABYTE Z170X UD3 MB multiple times. Blew into all the slots and ports, nintendo style. Trying intergrated graphics, it still persisted (Can you believe this ?) Tried HDMI on two different TV's, STILL PERSISTS Tried in a different room with different outlets Tried connecting directly to the outlet Tried disconnecting everything and then reconnecting Tried removing all the wires and electronics away from pc, except for monitor and keyboard Tried DDU and reintalling multiple older drivers for my nvidia card and my iGPU Tried updating all drivers possible Updated BIOS on both motherboards Tried installing Freesync driver on Display Tried safe mode There are probably other things I've tried that I forgot to list, but that should be mainly everything. So I'm having artifacts and static sound issues, with my GPU and iGPU. I personally think it's the CPU, or possibly both RAM sticks, but it's unlikely that both RAM sticks are causing the issue, one is brand new and the other is RMA. The artifacts issue is a little better when I update the intel and nvidia drivers, but it still happens. What do you guys think ?

Hi, I recently got a new GPU. I use the HDMI output with my 4K/60Hz TV and, for a couple of weeks, it worked fine, but now I've been getting "artifacts" (it doesn't look like space invaders, rather several blinking colorful pixels). Thing is, it feels like a software issue. It only starts when Win10 is loaded. It is not present with BIOS or POST screen. Rig is Ryzen 3800X, Crosshair Formula VIII, 32GB ddr4 3200Hz, 750W gold PSU. Not yet overclocked. It feels like it worsens as system heats up, but I'm not sure. I've tried finding fixes, with no luck. I also tried flashing a newer VBIOS to the card, also with no luck. Any help? Thanks in advance,

Yesterday I was testing out the performance when I OC my GTX950 to see any difference in my working applications. Harmless checking really, then when I hit the memory clock hard as I usually do with my othe rcards like GTX1060 and 1080, I saw these appear shortly. It was weird, they moved around and didn't go away until a full restart. I've never seen em before nor do I know much about visual issues on displays. Is this threatening to my card or PC or harmless side effects of a bad OC? Could use an expert thanks!

Hello everyone! I'm always playing battlefield 1 when this occurs, but I haven't done much else on my computer recently. I experience sudden game crashes, sometimes after a few short freezes, and the signal to my display is (usually) lost. When the signal remains I see very odd artifacts and windows menus stop working correctly (see video showing this behavior) even after I completely kill battlefield 1. I have played battlefield 1 a lot before on this system without this happening. It seems to be more frequent as of recently. Seems to fix itself after a simple reboot, but it reoccurs.

Hi there, I have an MSI RX480 Gaming X 4G, a R5 1500x, 8Gb of RAM(ultra cheap RAM, NO VENDOR) and ThermalTake TR2 430W PSU. OK, now my computer has crashed like 3-4 at start of loading programs in the OS. The screen image corrupts with what seems like a checkerboard artifact's grid. One time in past week this happened, but it was after I stumbled with the PC desktop. So... What could possible be this issue? Thanks, and greetings from Cuba.

Starting Monday night I've been having issues with my PC. I was playing AC Odyssey with no issues for about 3 hours, when suddenly my monitor turns off for a few seconds and then comes back on. When it turns on though the screen is flickering and looks terrible. This is where the start of my problems began. Next day i start checking my other games ( Just Cause 3, Battlefield 4 and 5, Killing floor 2, Vermintide 2) and they all either give me the dxgi_error_device_removed notice or just crash once in game., which is very strange since they all worked fine last time i tried them. Artifacting was also present in Battlefield 4 and Vermintide 2. Older games (Metro 2033, l4d2) work fine though. What makes me doubt that the gpu is faulty though is I ran UserBenchmark and Unigine Heaven Benchmark 4.0, and they both gave me great results.My PC specs: RTX 2070Ryzen 5 1600xB350 Strix MoboCorsair Cx750 PSU16gb RAM ddr4Samsung 850 EVO 1 tb SSDI've tried replacing the display port cable, Uninstalling and reinstalling drivers, rolling back drivers, putting the gpu in a different pci slot, air dusting out my case, doing window updates, and no luck. So what's the next best course of action? Should i just RMA? Any help is appreciated.

Hey I just bought a new Graphics Card (ASUS ROG Strix Radeon RX 570 O4G Gaming OC Edition) and i used DDU to uninstall my previous Graphics Card and the new one keeps having weird Black Triangles that will flicker in and out during rendering of object in games. VR games show a grid of 16 dots (4 on top, 40 on side), or weird blocks on certain textures. blade and sorcery has weird triangles too where it will appear from characters. This has affected a few games VR and non VR, including, Just Cause 3, RecRoom, Superhot VR, Naruto Storm 4, Blade and Sorcery, (etc) but has not affect (so far) the Desktop (Videos, Youtube, etc), Dying Light, Final Fantasy XV and Metal Gear Rising, Beat Saber. This Card along with my previous AMD MSI R8 265 2GB card had issues with "Wattman being restored to default values due to a system failure" even when starting up the computer for the first time. This issue as not returned so far since Reseting Windows 10. Looking up on google my issue i have found these to try to fix the problem but so far I have uninstalled and reinstalled the driver, including various updates (17, 19.1, 19.3) from the disc, from Asus site and from AMD site.I have factory reset Windows 10, reinstalled it from scratch.I have looked in the BIOs and changed Power Saver Mode to Optimal Power Mode.I have tried Installing just the Driver and not the settings app.I have tried the Wattman control settings to give me more Power. (this so far hasnt changed anything after the Win10 Factory reset and also hasnt "Restored to default values" after Win10 Factory reset)I have changed Anti-Aliasing Method to Adaptive Multisampling Radeon SettingsI have Reset the Shader Cache in Radeon SettingsI have updated my BIOs on the Motherboard My PC Specs (from Speccy)OS Windows 10 Home 64bitCPU AMD FX-8350 8 Core 4.34GHzRAM 17GB DDR3 @ 577MHz (11-11-11-28)*Slot1: 1GB, Slot2: 4GB, Slot3: 8GB, Slot4: 4GBall are Kingston but the 1GB stick shows up as unknown?Motherboard Asus Sabertooth 990FX R2.0GPU 4096MB ATI ASUS Radeon RX570 SeriesPSU 650W Bronze Im not sure what is going on and i feel it may be a defective Out of Box card. but at the same time I dont think it is because more graphical heavy games dont do it but some do? Could it be the RAM? im gonna try that next, and remove the 1GB stick. Im also gonna look in my manual and look at the PCI-e slots and put it in the best one for it. Any Opinions or suggestions are more than welcome. just want to get playing VR finally as i have been working on this for the Past 4 days testing and researching the problem. It has been a long time since i did a factory reset on Windows 10 so that seemed to help some issues i was having so far, but not the Artifacting.Also the games i played that were non VR were in full 60FPS at 1080p and never dropped in frames, this includes artifacted games and the games that had no issues. VR games also were at mostly a good 90FPS with little drops to 45FPS when the dots would flicker along with the blocky textures. No frame dips or drops in Blade and sorcery except at the loading screen where it did the dots only. Beat Saber had absolutly no issues and ran like a dream, no dots, no artifacting. I was thinking this was at first the VR headset but now i am not so sure. i also tested the card on different TV's and Monitors and different cables so its not that. https://bioalpha7569.imgur.com/all EDIT: I have tested the RAM but nothing happened. Im uploading all the Images with the issues im having to this link here.

I have a galax GTX 1660, and it shows some weird artifacts. Everything look crisp and pixelated. It doesn't show up in any window, but when I open Asus ROG armory crate and change around some setting. It shows me this weird pixelated artifacts I am talking about (on the top left), and when I switch to my adobe software. That pixelated artifacts also go over that window. Though the artifacts won't happen if I never open up the Asus armory crate, and I did some GPU stress test on Heaven and Superposition. Does anyone know what's wrong?

Hi all, So... I built myself a completely new computer in July/August this year, and as part of it, I purchased a ASUS ROG Strix GeForce RTX 2060 OC Edition 6GB (all components for the system were ordered via Amazon UK). Everything has been running fine for the last 3 months, but yesterday my desktop started glitching (see attachment), and now I can't get Windows to load. My main components are: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X Gigabyte Aorus X570 AORUS PRO (BIOS: f6b) Corsair CMK32GX4M2D3200C16 Vengeance LPX 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) Corsair RM850x Thinking it was a driver issue, I reinstalled Windows 10 1903 completely, and was able to get to the desktop. Once WindowsUpdate kicked in and tried to install the NVIDIA drivers, it does whats shown in the video, and freezes the computer. If I switch it off, and back on, it'll get as far as the Windows spinning circles and then black screen and freeze again. I also tried a clean install of Win10 1903/1909 with no internet connection, and tried installing different drivers from NVIDIA's site (v431.60, v431.86, v441.20) but the same thing happens. I even tried using a different power supply (another RM850x from my old build) but the same thing happens. I've exhausted software/hardware diagnostics as far as I can so... is my card dead/dying? I tried contacting Amazon UK's Technical Support, they said to email ASUS (which I have), so I'm waiting for ASUS to reply. Thanks! :) IMG_0165.mp4

Soo a friend gave me this galax gtx 960 that has artifacts, the symptoms are, it takes about 25 seconds to display any image and then shows this odd information(image 2) and then proceeds to boot displaying this white lines 100% of the time(image 1), even on the mb bios, on the device manager it recognizes the card, but with code 43 and error code 0000002b when opening the gpu-z all the information seems right except that it shows a 0mb of video memory (image 3) which leads me to think that is likely a problem with the memory, i can't install the drivers, i have all old drivers uninstalled with ddu, next issue, i looked at the pcb and noticed one of thoose r22 bricks (idk what they are called) is "missing"(image 4) i can't tell if it was removed but probably wasn't, the fixes i tried were cleaning it with a bath of alcohol and baking it at 390f for 12 minutes, none of them worked, the error still persists, next thing i will try to do is using a heat gun on the memory chips, if any of you guys could help me even with just a guest of what it could be, i will be thankful, good night image 1.jfif image 2.jfif image 3.jfif image 4.jfif

Hi, recently Me and a friend build a pc for him.

Been having some strange artifact issues lately with my 1060, I bought it 1 year ago new when I built my rig, I've done a bit of OC with afterburner with success in a lot of games seeing in some cases a 5 - 10 fps boost, As of lately, I've been noticing green squares, sometimes flickers appear on screen every few minutes when playing some games, mostly with WOT. Originally I thought I was maybe just pushing the OC too much, so I tried again with default clock and still having the issues, I game in 1080p, 1440p and in some games, I can even get away with 4k on lower settings with 60+ fps. I see artifacts no matter the resolution though. Is my GPU deteriorating? I always monitor temps and loads and the most I've run my GPU at is around the 80C mark for about an hour, usually around the 60C mark during normal load. i7 8700k Asus gtx 1060 6b dual 2x 8gb Vengence pro Asus Z370-A prime

20181001_235408.mp4 Hello, I have recently bought an "open box" GTX Asus Dual 1060 3gb off of ebay, after receiving it, I quickly inspected its conditions and it seemed pretty much "new", it almost had no dust, scratches or any damage. I connected the gpu to the computer and installed the required drivers from the official page. Got artifacts followed by a crash after 10minutes, thought Its because I did not restart after installing the drivers. All good, restarted, played a game, thought I should check the scores on Unigine Heaven, I made about 4,5 runs. And on about the 5th run, I got artifacts followed by a freeze, kinda scared. I restarted the PC and absolutely nothing, black screen. couple of times and still the same. I kept trying till I got a signal with artifacts, they do not appear immediately but sometime after the loading screen. I thought it might be the drivers, i reinstalled the drivers and restarted the PC, same thing, black screen no signal. couple of tries of shutting down and powering on. it finally came back to life, no artifacts. I tried running a game and it froze after 2minutes. the GPU either does not give a signal, or runs with artifacts. Fans are running and it has power on indicator. I have attached a video showing the kind of artifacts I'm getting, its on a black image to show the artifacts clearly. What do you guys think I should do, is this fixable? Extremely sad and disappointed since it feels like I was scammed for my hard earned money. Contacting the seller is kind of tough because I'm not in the states currently anymore. Edit: Sometimes screen does not turn on but this comes up (image below). System Specs: Ryzen 7 1700 G.skill 16GB 3200 SSR-550RM Seasonic Samsung EVO 960 250gb Asus TUF B350M
