HI guys, I have been getting some graphical artifacts on screen only when i boot up to windows and then they disappear. I think it maybe the PSU or the graphics card as my CPU only shuts down during games. I am going to test another video card in my tower but wanted advice first. If someone has had experience with this sort of thing please advise me before I proceed. If it is a faulty PSU causing it or Mobo, i dont want to place another card in there for fear of it messing up the borrowed card.
Would be grateful for any help that can determine the root of my problem. On another note, I am trying to find someone with a PSU tester to see if my PSU is bad. Problem is, CPU crashes only during games (an audio loop can be heard as well, like the sound is stuck) and I dont think PSU testers can test under load.
