So my graphics card is about a month old and It's had some issues but there are green pixels all over the screen.

What I've done:
Restarted my computer
Re-installed drivers
Deleted drivers
Made sure monitor was plugged in right

I'm not sure if it's my graphics card or OS because the graphics card never overheats and is at stock speeds. I think it might the OS and not my monitor or GPU is because when I drag an image canvas over the green pixels they disappear, however when I close it they appear. Also sometimes they are here sometimes they are not. Sometimes there a little, sometimes there are lots. Can I underclock my card? Is it the os? What do I do? I've sent the image captures to friends but they don't see the pixels. Is that good or bad?

Here's what it looks like on the computer http://gyazo.com/6b608607e11ccef22c971ec479807099

Solution
1)if you have tried your monitor with the apu and no green pixels then your monitor is ok, else is your monitor, or cable
2)if monitor is fine and you use the same dvi or hdmi with apu then cable is also fine, if not then make sure you connect with another one.
3)then only psu and gpu are left. jonny guru tested your psu and it died when reached 180w. for a system with gtx660 24A are recommended for the 12v rail of the psu and 450w psu. 24*12=288w. even if your gpu is faulty you must change that crappy psu.i cannot recommend you to rma the gpu before trying another power supply.
connect your monitor through another cable. your current one may be a fault one.if it still persists
make sure your temps are good. 30-45c for idle and up to 75c under load(depending gpu) if are ok rma your gpu (also make sure your psu can run your gpu sufficiently)!

So do you think it's my monitor/some loose wiring or my GPU? My GPU has NEVER went about 67C. Also I have only overclocked it once but then set it back to stock speeds.
 


if you use the same dvi/hdmi you had with your older gpu then it isnt a cable issue. also if your older gpu works fine then your monitor is also fine.

I had an APU so I used the Integrated graphics. So is it a GPU problem then?
 


you use the same cable? what gpu and psu do you have?

Well I bought my monitor with the new GPU so no. I have a GTX 660 2GB and a CheifMax 650W (I know it's utter garbage but I'm saving for a better one.) Could the PSU be the cause?

I think it might be an underpowered GPU. Also the pixels don't always stay in one place, sometimes they are more, then they decrease, then they are gone I assume. Also there are some reds in there but mostly all of it is green pixels.
