Fake Dead Pixel

So today a "dead pixel" appeared on my monitor. The thing is however it moves around if I update m ydrivers or do anything that would in theory remove it. Restarting fixes it but it re appears a little later. It also shows up i nscreen shots which dead pixels do not do.

 

I assume it's a virus, graphic card, or software issue of some sort. I'm just not sure which or what could be causing it. it just kinda randomly started with no warning while watching youtube. Any suggestions?

Bug report in the driver..should be available.

 

Bug report on AMD forums, couldn't hurt...

Post screens on AMD forums, tweet them/social media them,. the links and explain situation briefly.

Oh.

Swap AMD for Nvidia then...

They have forums and Twitter to send messages to
