Hi!

What's the issue?:
First, I installed Windows 10 Preview etc, everything was fine and smooth, then 3-4 days later, I installed AVG, which removed me a file from my PC.. Which <<edited for inappropriate language>> up my games, I thought it's my Windows so I formated my PC.

Later on, I was playing some games and they started to act up, I thought it was my pre-overclocked CPU (Did some stuff on the BIOS to "Get the CPU ready for OC" but never touched the 34-38 GHz clocks.. so I left it there.) I backed up everything like it was to normal and restarted.
Now:

The issue is, my GPU is acting up. Don't know what happened to it. In the morning it worked fine without problems when I played CS GO and Alien Isolation.
I tried another GPU, old one a GT220 and well? CS GO worked ok...


Tried switching back to my GTX 560 Ti and bam! crashing... and this:

now Desktop and other stuff like youtube and such, twitch works fine...

Oh yes, I think it is a Hardware issue, right? it is.. must be. but it worked perfectly before, untouched lol.. it worked fine. I tried to underclock it to 720Mhz .. (Originally 900Mhz!) .. and nope! Still freezing and crashing.
Tried to uninstall drivers and install a downgraded driver, but yeah... that doesn't work either.

Help? ^^.. (Might be another thread about it, but this is a new problem)... Help
