Hello guys,
since I installed the anniversary update today, following a blue screen I started to get artifacting, and hangups. I tried reinstalling the driver, deleting other programs which accessed my 270x(like MSI afterburner etc.) and even installing older drivers, but nothing helped. The artifacting and the hangups always go away after a couple of seconds and seem to only occur when watching videos(like on twitch, youtube) but I havent tried playing games yet.

I couldnt really find anything about it on the Internet so it seems that it just affects me. What do you guys think the problem is, is my card dying or is it something related to drivers, the update?

Something to note is that a couple of days ago my graphics card fans were set on manuel 20% for some reason and my card stayed at 90-100° for like an hour until I noticed it. Could that have killed it?

Edit: Something I should mention is that the problems didnt start immediately after upgrading but a few hours later
