My computer looks like this:

If I set it to 32 bit, there are various coloured pixels, mostly pink covering the screen.
These are my specs:

(+ an external hard drive)
The closest I've had to a warning to this issue, was the graphics seemed unusually slow during a game I was playing, when normally there has been no issue.
Yesterday I switched on my PC and from the first screen for the motherboard, up until windows login, there are the weird pixelated, mostly pink, nonsense on my screen.
I saw a good tip that the picture being messed up proving it was a hardware issue as opposed to a software one, but looking at the graphics card (The fans are on, so it seems to be operating) I tried removing and replacing, giving it a simple dust, blowing it with air, there seems to be no solution I can fathom or find online.
Toms Hardware seemed the closest place to finding an answer I might get.
I'm really hoping that a solution can be found that doesn't involve replacing the card (cheapest I found was 160 dollars that I won't have for a while.)
Other info: I have used this computer for five years without issue, I built it myself with verbal help.
