Glitchy screen effects

[Lemonpearl]

I sometimes notice this weird glitchy effect on my monitor, somewhat similar to screen tearing. I've also been seeing more flashing/refreshing icons on my desktop, as well as on some websites. I first started noticing this a few months back, but I rarely use my PC as I'm at uni most of the time. Any ideas what might be causing this?

 

Any help is appreciated, thanks

 

EDIT: This may be important to add. When installing my graphics card I was worried I had put too much pressure on the connector. A few times, I left the card handing from the moba with no support. Yet, I didn't start seeing any graphical problems until 6 months after installation.
