Artifacting in Windows - RIP GPU?

[Silenced]

Hey all,

For the past two weeks I've been having issues with odd artifacts occurring within Windows 10.

I find little black boxes appearing every now and then, sometimes they'll go away if I scroll down the web page I'm on, sometimes they don't, trying to highlight what is behind it to force a refresh of the section works, sometimes it doesn't.

Any ideas what I can do to identify if my GPU is dying? My warranty runs out in March, so I'd rather find out it's dying now!

What I've tried: I've tried re-installing graphics card drivers to no avail, my GPU is water-cooled and so its constantly sub 50c under max load

Images occurrences (will update as with more screenshots as it occurs):

Use the onboard gfx and see if its normal that way?

Is that Chrome you are using? because it is know issue disable hardware accel helps some people but not all this method is worth trying as well chrome://flags/#disable-slimming-paint in address bar then press enter

I'll give this a whirl at the weekend - Might switch to the GPU in my other halfs machine since she isn't using it

Set this on, will see how I get on

Is it artifacting in games? You could download a demanding visual benchmark like Heaven and see how your gpu handles it. Run it for a good period of time and see if any artifacts show.
