Was playing Skyrim when this happened, had to force shutdown cause the PC froze. When I turned it on again, it booted normally, I chose to start windows normally. Then I noticed small and thin lines/artifacts on the Starting Windows screen. When it reached the desktop it was a black screen with artifacts, the OS doesn't respond and you basically have to force shut down again.
I've tried uninstalling my display driver, and installing the latest stable drivers but the same thing happens. Tried re-seating my GPU, check the cables and all but nothing. I don't overclock , and I'm certain it's not overheating, my PC has good ventilation and I almost always play in an airconditioned room. Max temps under load is 85 degrees (I've been monitoring with Afterburner) My GPU is still under warranty, pretty sure this is a faulty card? Any advice on what I can still do before I get this RMA'd?
