I was just going to start CSS when my pc just shut down automaticly. When i tried to start it up again i got some weird colors and signs on my screen. What could have happened? Is it my CPU or my GFX?

It's your GPU. It's artifacting.

Artifacting on boot? Are you sure it`s not mu CPU?

Reply to andreasmkr

i believe if the cpu is fried, it wont even boot, maybe even turn power on.

there are no problems with booting. It`s just plenty of artifacts on the screen when loading windows. And the screen goes black when i`m entering windows

video card issue.
try removing and reseating also make sure if you have a power supply
with multiple 12 volt rails.. that everything isnt on 1 rail and nothing on the other(s)

also check for overheating of gpu

Yes, indeed. If your computer is booting, the CPU is not the problem.
