Problem with graphics while playing

[ArtemioP]

When I play a game suddenly the display seems to split (duplicate) in an interlaced way, and sometimes the colors become afected too, the screen turns a little bit green or purple (see attachements), it is not the monitor, I have turn it off and disconnected it and then turning it on again and the problem stay,the only way to solutionate this problem when it has already happen is to restart the PC or to uninstall the Nvidia drivers. It has happening while playing Alien Isolation, Call of duty Ghost, Skyrim and Far Cry 3, it happens all of the sudden when playing. Something strange is that the mouse pounter on the screen seems to be alright, it is not affected by the problem. Do you know what can it be and how to fix it?

Could be heat, memory issues, faulty cable or the monitor.. Have you tried another monitor / screen of have a screen shot of the issue??

I have just put the screenshot on the link in the post, its a new cable, and it happens when playing, not while doing other things, and also not while playing RainbowSix: Siege, that seems to be as demantating as the others

Could still be all of the above... Take a screen-shot, not a ppicture of your screen (usually a button assigned in steam or just use prtScr, then paste in paint and save. It will show if it's the actual graphics output, it won't if it's the cable / monitor.

I'm going with faulty cable.

I have tried disconnecting it and then plug it again, when the problem happens if i desinstall Nvidia drivers the image becomes normal again, I have even updated the drivers while having the problem, and in the middle of the instalation the problem solved and by the time it finished the problem was back (I think the problem dissapeared in the time the old driver was uninstalled and before the new one was installed)

GPU is toast.

Also are you participating in the beta drivers for nvidia? If so try disabling it.

Screenshot seems normal, the problem happened now while a run a GPU stress test, the problem happened when the GPU reached 70ºC, but right now I'm doing another test and its at 70ºC with no problems, what do you think?

When it happens again, take a screenshot... monitor temps etc too. try gather as much info as you can.. Might be worth a fresh install of the driver if you haven't already (tick the box for clean install at the start)

Ok, it happened again, I have this screenshot with the info on it (the screenshot was taken like 5 seconds after the problem happened), I have already installed the drivers with the clean install

Unless you catch the issue, it's no good showing us.... If you can't catch it, I'd say dodgy cable / connection / monitor. If the artifacts aren't showing in the shot it means it's not coming out on the display signal from the card and is happening after... This is why I'm asking for the SS.

I chanced the cable and tried another monitor and it still happens, should I send the graphics card to warranty? or what do you think it could be? Thanks a lot

Seems the output from the GPU is shit not the actual screen or GPU.
