I have been having artifacts, white pixels on my screen, severe lag spikes, and I have been crashing in every game. My specs are a Asus Geforce 660 GPU, a AMD FX 6300 6 core CPU, AsRock 970 Extreme3 motherboard, 1 TB or hard drive memory, 8 gb ram, and 650 Watts.

Artifacts are usually an indication of your GPU overheating or not getting sufficient power. Check your GPU temps first and please tell us specifically which 600W psu you have. If you have a cheap, low quality psu, it could be the culprit.

Could be that the GPU is overclocked too high, too.

Also, you may have downloaded a corrupeted driver. Other solution could be changing the PCI-E slot where the GPU is. Look at if it is an factory overclocked card run it on stocks clocks and check your software like Directx and other driver related stuff.

If it's none of them you can RMA your card if it is on its warranty time, with all that info you collected you can explain that the card it's actually faulty so you can speed up the RMA process. Still Asus is a good company you wont have troubles after all.

Could the overheating have long term affects on the GPU? And my Power Supply is a GT Series Power Supply 650. I have tried multiple drivers, so its not corrupted, I don't think I overclocked my GPU, I will check though.
