Hello Internets,
I've recently built a new PC but have been having trouble with, which I believe to be the source of the issue, my graphics card. After about a month of running the PC, I started to get strange issues where the PC would lock up and the display on my monitor would tear horribly:
Specs:
OS: Windows 10 Education 64-bit
CPU: Intel i5-6500
RAM: 8GB DDR4
GPU: Palit GTX 1070 JetStream
PSU: Corsair CX500M
Motherboard: ASRock H170 Pro4S
The PC runs great most of the time as expected: handles maximum graphical settings at high FPS. However every so often this screen tearing occurs and not always when in a game. I've haven't managed to find a pattern for when it occurs.
If there are any suggestions people have about the problem, I'd be very thankful. More information can be provided.
Cheers.
EDIT: I updated both video and audio drivers about 10 minutes prior to the above image being taken.
