My 20 day old laptop has been working perfectly until last night, when it started to freak out during a gaming session. It now does this:
The yellow lines are whats not supposed to be there. They change with every frame, and i feel like i am going to have a seizure just by having them up there. The games still run smooth, just have these strobe lights going off everywhere constanly. It only does this for games. Videos, internet, everything else works fine.
To try and fix it, I reloaded the game, and it was still happening. Tried another game, and it happened there too. So i uninstalled and re downloaded the driver for my GPU, to no success. I tried restoring my system, didn't work. I disabled my nvidia GPU, ran different games only on the integrated intel GPU, and the problem stopped.
I think that my GPU is shot, but i am hoping to find an answer to why. It's not dirty, didn't overheat, and i wasn't running for that long of a time. I am out of ideas, short of formatting my HD and reinstalling everything. Thanks for everyones help!
System specs:
Build: MSI GE70
