And did you previously install Windows on any of the other drives, or even try to, than the one it's installed on now?

Have you tried running the system with ONLY the operating system drive connected? Try that, and see if there is any difference at all.

There are only really three things that would cause visual "glitches" like you said, in the system. Faulty power supply, faulty graphics card or an issue with the cpu/motherboard connections.

Can you post pics of what these "glitches" look like. Honestly though, I think you are probably looking at a motherboard as you suspected all along. If what I suggested makes no change, then I think I'd just suck it up and look at a new motherboard. I'd be glad to try and help you find one and...

Doesn't sound like hardware to me. Sounds like either a corrupted Windows installation or an infection of some kind of malware.

Do you have an antimalware program installed?

What version of windows are you running and when was the last time you did a clean installation?

Have you bothered to check your hardware thermal sensor readings to SEE if anything is overheating?

What is the model of your power supply? This could VERY easily be a PSU issue. A faulty PSU can make EVERYTHING seem like it's not working right, because it won't be.

Yes sir. That's exactly what I was getting at. At this point, not much else makes sense. Clean install of windows and if the problem remains then it's obviously a hardware issue of some kind. At least then you'd KNOW though, instead of guessing.

Better than continuing to throw parts at it in the hope you'll get lucky and find the problem.

i tried a reinstall im running windows 10 atm and i have mailware bytes installed scanned and nothing picked up i have a evga supernova 850 50+ gold also a update im getting visual glitches now inside demanding things games etc i checked to see if it was my ssd or my hardrive those look fine atm
my cpu temps are never over 50c and my mobo temps are fine aswell so no thermal issue i suspect maybe the psu it is or the mobo but i only got the psu in april this year brand new

Ok, since you've had the same problem through two different CPUs, two different graphics cards and a clean install of Windows, I'd say that only leaves the motherboard or the power suppy and while it's possible, it's pretty unlikely that your G2/G3 PSU is to blame. Those are exemplary units and I've honestly not seen more than one or two of them out of hundreds of threads that were faulty. Given that it's a used motherboard and I'm guessing you've probably had this issue since almost the exact time you started using it or shortly after, damn near HAS to be the motherboard.

That's only one screen worth of what should be three screens of data for the idle readings. Should start with the virtual memory and end with the last of the hard drives. There should be CPU core clock frequencies, core temperatures, full system voltages, motherboard data, GPU card data. You posted only a small fraction of the data. You need to scroll the "sensors only" window to the top, take a screenshot, scroll to the middle, take a screenshot, scroll to the bottom, take a screenshot. Then, put the system under load using a stress utility of some kind like Prime95 or Intel burn test, maybe Furmake or the Heaven benchmark, and then take the same three shots again. Post them all here.

Something is SERIOUSLY using up a lot of both physical AND virtual memory. What all did you have running when you took those shots at idle? If you had no programs or applications, or games, running at that time, then there is an infection of some kind because there is no way EVER that you should be using 8000mb of virtual memory and over 6000mb of physical memory at idle with nothing running. Even with ten FF tabs open, HWinfo running, Prime95 running and resource monitor running, I don't use over 3500mb of RAM. Something is definitely eating up your RAM resources.

Do you have malwarebytes and is it up to date? When was the last time you ran a full manual scan? MB doesn't catch a lot of stuff, especially if something is using windows processes for nefarious reasons, unless you run a full manual scan, and sometimes not then. If you don't have malwarebytes, get it. If you do, open it up and click on the settings tab. Make sure the "Scan for rootkits" option is set to on.

Now click on the Scan tab. Click on custom. Click configure scan. Make sure "Scan memory objects, scan startup and registry settings, scan within archives and Scan for rootkits" are all selected. Put a check mark next to Drive C: and then click Scan Now.

How old are your hard drives? How many storage drives do you have installed?

Sometimes there can be issues when there is more than one drive, especially if one of the older drives USED to have Windows on it. When you reinstalled windows, did you disconnect ALL the other drives except the one you were installing on?
