I recently bought a new power supply (and hdd + cpu but that seems irrelevant) for my box as my old one was on it's way out constantly rebooting itself and such. A few days after I put in the new PSU which seems to be working fine I started having this issue where my screen suddenly has areas that are.. pixelated?
It is hard to describe but it is number of green pixels on the screen that kind of flicker almost like noise. It looks somewhat like when you load safe mode and it tries to display fancy images with 16 color mode. I've noticed it happens most on greens and somewhat blue areas. For example in tiger woods 2006 the grass and sky both display this behavior whereas in doom 3 it is almost unnoticable.
Does anyone have any idea what this might be? It doesn't seem like a power supply thing so I wasn't sure if it sounded like an issue with the video card, monitor (LCD) or the DVI cable. I ran down to Best Buy to try a new cable but since they want 60 bucks for a DVI Cable I decided nto to buy it without asking around first.
Thanks!
EDIT: I already tried formating and reinstalling windows to ensure it was not a driver or software issue. The problem was there even during the windows install. It is not constant and seems to come and go on a whim, regardless of the GPU being under load or just at the desktop.
