re seat the cooler ( though highly unlikely to fox it).

ddu the drivers and if there is any overclock on it get rid of it.

Maybe you spread the thermal paste where it is not supposed to be spread? Or you damaged the card while taking it apart?

Impossible to tell by looking. Problem is it is probably cheaper to buy a new system/GPU than get it fixed.

How are you connecting to your PC monitor? HDMI? Same cable when connected to the TV? It's worth checking, I've had very similar visuals to what you posted with a dodgy cable.

Are there thermal pads on the memory chips?? Does the screen issues start at a cold boot (When you first turn on the computer after shutting it down the night before)??

haha, I totally missed that 🙂 In that case, the cable that's inside, between the screen and motherboard. They are cheap on ebay. Might be worth trying, as the least expensive option?
