So today when I booted my PC I noticed text on my monitor was weird and glitching, like letters were missing. also when i alt tab onto discord boxes would appear flashing top right of my monitor.


i unplugged the cable and put it back in and it said something about gpu driver error, i had to install latest driver again and it seems to be ok now.

i was told to run a test for possible VRAM problem and now I'm scared. I ran MemTest80 because apparently it tests my GPU and I had so many errors I nearly had a panic attack, I really can't afford new PC parts.

Was that via a print screen or photo? If print screen then yeah it's a a possible gpu failure but if via photo then it could be something as simple as a bad hdmi or displayport cable. It's worth changing the cable first if you have access to another one

I used print screen. i'm dumb, whats the difference between print screen and photo? Games seems to be working fine I just don't understand, did I maybe put the wrong commands in for that tool to get those errors? I get stutters when my frame rate drops in games sometimes but nothing bad is happening? That artifacting thing has happened two times in a few months.
