Specs:
CPU: AMD FX-6300
GPU: NVidia GTX760
RAM: 8GB (4GBx2)
SSD: Kingston 240GB
PSU: CHIEFTECH 550W
Motherboard: AM3+ 990X Gigabyte GA-990X-Gaming SLI,
 
So recently I've been getting random freezes with random colored stripes,
Screenshots:
Don't mind the white flash, just the phone camera light.

So what have I done, since my GPU has a warranty I returned it to be checked,
within two weeks they have returned it, and they said it functions properly.
I though it could be the motherboard, so I got a new one which is the 990X,
Problem still resumes, since I have two sticks of 4GB
I tried replacing them in different slots, and also tried using only one, and then the other separately.
Still having the same issue, computer randomly freezes, with random textures.
(Sometimes it restarts, sometimes it does not)
keep in mind this happens only when I play games.
I don't think that the CPU would be the issue since it's been tested with 3D Mark.
I don't also believe that the HDD / SSD would be a problem since I tested with multiple hard drives.
Could the PSU be causing this or maybe even RAM?
Or the ones at the shop won't admit that the GPU is at fault?
Has anyone had an experience like this? please respond.
 
Kind Regards
Robert / Painkiller

This is strange it really does look like a dying GPU, Have you checked all connections going into the monitor, tried switching out cables just to test? also have you tried a clean install of your drivers? Its unlikely the drivers but I've seen them do strange things, also on the topic of cables to monitor what output are you using for video?

Only happen when in games?

Only certain games or all games?

Have you tried using DDU to reinstall GPU drivers?

Have you tried increasing the GPU voltage and power limit and maybe turning down the clock speed?
