Hello, i have been thinking of what could have cause this and what i recently been doing that could have made it happen, But nothing comes to mind. So about 1 day ago i got the artifacts where small square boxes pop up first time this happend, i first got it in a game and so i closed it as i tought it was a bug. Then i reset my settings in msi afterburner as i undervolt my GPU, And when i did that my desktop was filled by those boxes screen went black and pc "restarted"? and now 1 day later no issue been playing for hours and nothing as of yet. I have had this gpu ifor 4 months now always been undervolted, The only "new" thing i did lately is install the new nvidia driver 1 week ago and playing a new game. So is my gpu dying? is there anyway to check it or something? or should i just keep playing and see if i will get these artifacts again. Thanks

It could have been unstable even if you undervolted the GPU, Might not had enough power.  You say that everything is fine now so just keep playing and see if it happens again.

welcome to the world of overclocking and undervolting... Things can be stable for months and months and suddenly crash because of it.
