Hi guys, my friend helped me build a pc approx 1 year ago and for the past couple of weeks I've had strange colourful lines/shapes appear on the screen only when playing games. Sometimes they are horizontal and sometimes they pick up on something moving and pivot lines across my screen from it. I swapped GPU's with my friend's PC and it didn't happen on my PC or his, I also switched the monitor cables over to a HDMI and it didn't fix it. I've went through all the drivers and updated them and it didn't fix it. My friend also cable tied the edge of the GPU higher incase it was sagging due to heat and it still didn't work. I've also only seen it reach 68C on the GPU. Also completely reformatted PC twice.
