So my gaming pc has been through a few problems (bad overclocking, etc). In few words, the CPU is new, the PSU is new and the Mobo is new. Whenever I try to enter a game (any game with some video stress) the screen turns as seen in the picture, though it sometimes varies with different colors or line patterns. The audio from the game keeps playing but the video just crashes. I try alt-tabing or ctrl+alt+del or alt+f4 but nothing matters. This makes me believe that the problem is the video card, since the audio and other processes keep running after the video freezes, but I have the doubt of maybe the psu being insufficient wattage. I just need confirmation that the problem is indeed the video card before spending $200 on a new one. Thank you in advance!
