Computer freezing and screen corruption

[badlou101]

Hi,

 

Every time I open an app, my screen looks like it is corrupted, see image, and my computer freezes. Can anyone help me troubleshoot this?

 

Thanks,

Badlou

Turn it off and back on again /s

 

The only thing I could think of is redownload your drivers or factory reset your PC. If that doesn’t work, you might need to check your GPU and make sure the hardware isn’t broken.

That looks like bad VRAM on your GPU.

What parts do you have?

Have you tried reseating the graphics card? That is, removing the graphics card from the system and reinstalling it back in the system? Also, check the pins that run along the edge where the PCIe slot is to make sure they are not damaged. They should be nice and shiny gold.

That seems like an overheating problem then to me. You should check your airflow and turn up the RPM on your fans. Could you show a pic of your tower?

What are the specs of your computer? Those would help a lot in determining the issue.

if you don't get it to work, could be something about the graphics and it being the GPU?
