Hi,
Ive had this gpu for a couple months after buying it 2nd hand, it is a Gigabyte GTX 1070 Windforce OC and it just suddenly started producing these weird artifacts after regular use
I have updated my drivers and the problem still persists. In device manager it says "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)"

I have also attached a pic of what it says in GPUZ. It appears to not recognise the gpu clock or the ram. Very strange.

This is really bugging me and my pc is basically un useable while in this state. I will be very appreciative of any help i can get, thank you.
