gpu Tiny squares artifacts randomly appering across the srceen

[DrHeadbump]

Hi folks. 

 

I got some weird thing happening. Never encountered this one before so I turn to the PC Gods of this forum. 

 

Intro:

The card that I'm using is a Gigabyte Gaming Trio X 2080 its water cooled and vertical mounted due to some clearance issues. 

 

Problem:

The problem I got is that randomly my pc displays (see image) tiny squares across the screen. At this state the pc is completely frozen and won't do anything. But after ~15-30sek the CPU starts working again (deezer started playing music) but the display is frozen. At this point the only thing that I can do is to reset the PC. And when it boots up again the Nvidia drivers don't "exist" any more. But after a reinstall all is fine again for a while.

 

And this issue haven't appeared when I play games yet. Didn't have a single issue before going to water the card ran like a champ.

You seem to have fucked up your water-cooling.
