Hi all, I have had a weird problem occur over the past couple of days that I was hoping someone might be able to help with. Whenever I watch a video full screen, be that netflix or youtube or whatever, once I close the video I am left with lines all over the screen which I have posted a screen shot of here

These lines move when I move the mouse and only disappear when I re open Chrome or another program, almost like the screen refreshes, but refreshing the desktop does not have any effect on the lines. If anyone can point me in the direction of what may be causing this then it would be a great help. So far it is only happening after videos, games and anything else on the pc is not causing it to happen, just full screen videos. Drivers are up to date and the pc is well cooled and clean. The only thing of note to have happened recently was I had a crash where the AMD notification said the GPU or drivers had crashed, think I was just on google maps at the time. But that was two days ago and this literally started happening yesterday afternoon.

Specs are:
i7 4790K 4.4ghz
Gigabyte R9 280X 3gb
Maximus VII Ranger Motherboard
8GB Ram
Windows 10

I think your GPU is about to die , the same things were happening before my graphics card died. Or if you leave in very humid region ,your graphics card ,might have attracted moisture . To solve this take a pencil eraser (clean one) and try it to run on the PCI lane of the graphics card so it can absorb the moisture if any and do the same for your RAM stick .
