Hey guys, I have recently noticed some strange things going on with my CPU (?) and I would ask for some advice.
Some specs first - here (You need to scroll a little downwards to see the specs)
Things I have noticed:
Computer Crashes - maybe once to maximum twice every 2 weeks. Similar to blue screen - without any warnings
Artifacts while watching Videos (in VLC) - something like this, although not so intense.
Something I have very recently noticed is that when I play videos in youtube, they like go in slow motion, then skip forward to the moment where they should actually be and then go again in slow motion. I tried it with IE and had the same problem. Then I disabled hardware acceleration and made the integrated video card deal with the browsers and the problem disappeared.
Secondly I recently Installed GTAIV and it said I have only 3gb memory I can use, whileI should have 6.
Thirdly I ran Furmark test and got the same results as gtx 1060 3gb users.
Fourthly (and thank god finally), I downloaded Video memory stress Test and tried to run the test. The following:
And here is what the program shows (Note top left corner)
So please, if you have any suggestions or tips or anything, I will be more than thankful!!
EDIT: screenshots from Speccy if that would be of any help:

It is probably worth mentioning that my Notebook display bugged. It went darker into the left and right corners of the screen. I haven't dropped or hit the notebook. The external Display is perfectly fine, so I guess no evidence of video card failure in this, but still...
