I've had my build for about 2 months and now the graphics card is having problems.

Its a Gigabyte 280X and has been working fine up until a week ago. I downloaded Elder Scrolls Online about a week ago and when I closed the game after playing for an hour or so it said the video driver is not responding and the screen started flickering to the point I couldn't see what I was doing.

The picture is fine again after a restart and I can play games fine UNTIL I close them game and the problem starts again. I have attached a few screenshots of what I mean by "flickering".

Any help would be appreciated

Have you tried uninstalling the driver for it and download the latest version or older if u can, it looks like the card is on its way out unfortunately.
 
I have only tried the latest drivers, I'll try an older one now. Some people suggested I should flash the bios but the gigabyte website is down and I can't access the download.
 
Yeh it is unfortunate,there still is hope a few other things you could do is take the GPU out and put it in to make sure it is seated properly. try it on another display port if there is one and see how it goes.
 
I've had 2 280x's do this to me but both were msi. They ended up dead shortly after even though all temps etc all looked fine. I had thoroughly abused them though so it was not surprising. If you can, return it, if you cant, maybe try downclocking and undervolting to see if it helps or extends the use.
