Screen full of artifacts all of a sudden

All of a sudden my screen was full of artifacts, multiple super close horizontal and vertical line making everything pixelated.
I tried switching my monitor on/off (Acer predator xb271hu) it didn't work.

- Although it was fixed automatically after restart (it took a few seconds more to shutdown down the pc than it normally does).
what could be the problem, is the GPU dying on me? or was it power related?

Next time it happens take a photo of it. If you have any overclocks applied to the graphics card, remove them.

well, it was so sudden that I panicked.
The artifact was somewhat related to interlacing.
To give you a perspective, here is a picture having the exact same effect/artifact that I saw on my monitor.
