Video card artifacts after update?

[kotekking2]

A friend of mine asked me to build her a gaming PC. The PC booted first time, no problems at all. A day later, she told me that the pc started experiencing artifacts, as can be seen in the uploaded pics. I went there and tried a only a handful of things, because she was going somewhere. 

 

 - It's not the monitor or the cable, because when I removed the GPU and plugged the HDMI cable into the motherboard it was working fine. 

 - it works fine in safe mode. 

 - i updated the chipset drivers and gpu drivers, but nothing changed. 

- I disabled every start up program except for the eset antivirus, didn't help. 

- the most mind boggling is the fact that when I put it into my pc it works (I borrowed the card for the weekend) 

 

I can't believe that something like that can be caused by a software/driver.  

I have yet to try Windows repair. 

I can try updating the bios.

I doubt it's a faulty pcie slot. 

Could it be a faulty vram?? 

 

The specs are: 

Gainward GTX 1060 6GB

I5 8400

Asrock Z370M Pro4

2x8gb corsair vengeance 2666mhz ddr4

 

Any advice is appreciated.

Did you use Display Driver Uninstaller in safe mode?
