GPU artifacts

[mrogicom]

Hi

I just had this strange problem on my new desktop

I was just browsing the web while sitting in a skype call.

Suddenly my mouse laggs and then my screen froze compleatly.

I tried ctrl-alt-delete but nothing worked. I therefor rebooted.

I boot up again and i went in to desktop in windows 8.1

After 7 sec or so, the screen froze again. This time though a lot of blue tiles shows up on my screen.

I try ctrl-alt-delete again and after 5 sec it responded. i quickly turned off, turned of the PSU and pulled out the powercord of the PSU.

I whaited 2 min, plugged it all in again, and now it works fine.

 

I assume its related to the GPU and my friend thinks that too

I think, that if it happens again i should return the GPU and get a new one?

 

 

Specs:

4670K (no-oc)

Gigabyte G1 sniper z87

EVGA 770 sc with acx cooler (factory oc)

16 gb of Corsair vengeance lp ram

samsung 840 evo 120 (boot)

seagate barracuda 2tb (storage)

corsair 760w 80+ platinum

you didn't have any other drivers on that pc such as amd drivers or old drivers for a different gpu did you
