Artifact Troubleshooting Help

Soooooo.... I went to turn on my PC, and something seemed a little broken.... Please see attachments.

 

This is a Zotac GT 730 with 1GB DDR5 VRAM (Amazon link) that I got a month or two from Amazon (sold my RX 480s). The PC seems fine (except for the shitty Microsoft Display Driver) with my 256mb 7300GT (only other card I have).

I think that this is a VRAM hardware issue. The things on the screen that are most recently loaded/refreshed seem to be the least screwed-up elements, so that indicates that memory items are being corrupted over time. It also seems to pretend to function as a GPU using the Microsoft Display Driver, but the GPU Memory is not showing up in HWInfo64 (Should be 1GB DDR5)

 

My PC seems to boot some of the time, but not always. The BIOS screen always shows up, always with artifacts. Not always the same artifacts though. I managed to grab the HWInfo screenshots and email them to myself before the PC crashed again.

 

Does anyone have any insight into possible causes/solutions/workarounds for this? (I should also be able to return to Amazon, so no oven fixes)
