My computer started occasionally blue screening but a few days ago there began to be blue screens which were preceded by major screen tearing and also started showing a message I hadn't seen before.
It usually does this when I try to play graphic intensive games but also just randomly even with other application types running. It has also started going straight from the screen tearing to a black screen so the only thing i can do is to turn it off. It does sometimes seem to get through the tearing followed by the message "Display driver stopped responding and has recovered". I've tried multiple fixes including "Microsoft Fix it 50848" which is meant for that very message, I've updated my graphics driver, and used fix #2 at this url: http://www.computertipsfree.com/display-driver-stopped-...
After trying that applications just stop working right away instead of making me bluescreen. There is still screen tearing but it just minimizes and i can't reopen it. I'm pretty much stuck to basic applications and web browsing now.

Here are more pictures to give you a better idea of the issue:



Following the issue, sometimes the computer launches without the video driver seeming to work at all with everything being massive, discolored and pixelated like this:


I mostly wanna know which parts I need to replace, if any.

GPU is stuffed I think. Which one do you have? You could try reinstalling drivers first.

I have a 560 ti. Changing video driver versions hasn't helped either and the temps are fine. Stays in the low 30's Celsius and only goes up to around 40 with games.
