GPU Overcapping ram?

So for a long time now while playing games my screen has been, seemingly, randomly breaking. Ive checked everything; temps, loose cables, drivers, dust, power supplies, different games. My screen randomly and instantly turns to this(see first two pictures). Today its happening every single time I open up Arma 3, which is actually helping me narrow the problem down. I noticed when this problem happens my gpu vram usage shoots up to...4 petabytes. As well as my power shooting up to over 4 million percent. Im wondering if its overcapping or reaching its vram limit and then just spazzing out. I'd really like to get this problem resolved, if not I'm gonna have to get a new card. thank you for your time.

Uninstall your drivers using Display Driver Uninstaller, and do a fresh installation. Reinstalling MSI Afterburner might help as well.

After it breaking right now I went to device manager and disabled my graphics card, which fixed my screen but means i cant use it in games and such. I noticed it allows me to snap my browser to what seems to be the "edge" of the screen but is really a couple inches in from the left. and when it snaps it extends off the right side.  I can also snap it to the left of that "edge" and itll go off the left side of the screen. as if it thinks I have three monitors installed or something.
