Hello, so do you know how you drag your mouse on your desktop and it would like make the blue square. Well the last few days maybe longer when I do it It makes black square and they stay for awhile but then randomly I can redo it over the black part and it will remove it. I really am confused and dont know how to explain this. Here is a picture of it

I mean I haven't overclocked in a few months

Looks a lot like overclocking artifacts, or a gpu related problem... Try connecting the monitor to the motherboard, and restarting to see if it goes away.

The thing is that it happens randomly I dont know when its gonna happen so I cant test really

also if it was a gpu related problem wouldnt it always be there?

try the GPU on another PC and with the nVidia drivers installed

 

do a stress test on that PC with Unigine heaven

 

if the  artifacts appear 

 

then you need to do a RMA of the GPU

Budget? Uses? Currency? Location? Operating System? Peripherals? Monitor? Use PCPartPicker wherever possible.
