I'm not sure of what caused it but now when I'm in a program (such as google or a game) and try to type, move my mouse scroll etc. (or a just have it open in general) weird, glitchy, pixelated masses appear all over my screen. It's extremely annoying and I just want to fix it ASAP. When I'm on the desktop or a select few programs it doesn't do it but in the majority of programs it just turns into a glitchy swarm of pixels.
The computer itself runs fine and I run games and programs at the same high speeds I did before it showed up but the pixels are still there and very apparent.

Here are some examples (doesn't actually do it justice, it's a lot worse but):

That site is blocked for me, what is the CPU and GPU max temps that is comes up with? You can lookup normal temps for your CPU and video card online.
If anything is overclocked, set it all to stock speeds. Check temps of the video card and CPU using HWMonitor or something similar, make sure all fans and vents are working and clean. Try uninstalling the drivers, running DDU program to wipe them and re-install. If none of that helps, test the card in another system to see if it does the same thing there.

So I used the DDU program and while everything was wiped the problem stopped but as soon as I installed the latest drivers the problem started happening again, any idea?
 


That points to a failing video card or too much heat.
