The Problem
About a week ago computer started crashing after these cubes of static as shown below started appearing. This could happen 10min-2hours after logging on to the computer no matter what task was being preformed. While launching or playing a game there is a higher chance of it crashing. After the first crash it would load and 1-10 min after logging on would do the same and crash and would repeat this unless hard reset. These crashes only once prompted a blue screen of death which read Video_scheduler_internal_error.

The computer runs fine on the intel chip graphics.
The card is a NVidia GTX 780.

What I have tried to do to fix with no success

Moving PCIe slots
Uninstalling drivers though device manager and reinstalling intern updating driver.
Run system file checker
Put card in another rig where it worked fine but was not tested long enough to be valid test

Other info

I did notice this was happening for about a month ago but only on the shutdown screen so did not take notice to this.

I know this is probably just the slow death of a 3 year old card just want any ideas or a second opinion as I don't want to pay for a new card but if I have to Black Friday and cyber Monday are soon just making sure its broken.

Thanks in advance.
 
Solution
Try different graphics card with your PC.
Also try your graphics card with another computer.

Search " Video_scheduler_internal_error." on the web.

If you overclocked it recently. Go back to your older speed.
Try reinstalling drivers. But not like your way. Just "clean" install it.
Download DDU:

Run your PC in safe mode.
Run DDU.
Select "Clean and Restart"

After this process, your all Nvidia drivers and softwares are deleted.
Go to Nvidia website. Select newest and compatible driver for your GPU - Windows OS.
Install it.
Let's see if this solution works.
Generally, wrong installation or updating drivers without DDU cause problems.
