Strange Graphical glitches and computer freezing

I'm having issues with running games on my computer, it seems the only game I can run without crashing is Crusader Kings II which isn't very taxing. This hasn't always happened either, I fixed it for a bit by underclocking but now that doesn't seem to work either.
This is what the screen looks like when it freezes, my GPU is an GeForce GTX 1060 6GB

If you are having to underclock your graphics card so that you can run a game it is more than likely going to be that you have a failing Psu or one that does not have enough watts. Also we really need full system specs when trying to diagnose issues like this.

Sorry about that, my specs are:
Processor: intel core i5-6400 CPU @ 2.70GHz 2.70GHz
Installed RAM: 16.0GB
Let me know what other info is needed, sorry I'm extremely new to the forum

Unfortunately I do not have another card, though I fear it may be a defective card as well. It started crashing then I fixed it using MSI afterburner and now it happens all the time.
