Hello everyone, today I powered on my computer and noticed my 2k, 144 Hz AOC monitor showing odd artifacts, colors, and lines. After roughly five minutes of operation, it returned to normal. I thought it might be a GPU problem, so I updated the drivers, re-seated it, and found that my GPU was slightly loose. I tried a solution to address that issue. It could simply be that my GPU is aging and beginning to fail. I’m curious if anyone has encountered this problem before or knows of any fixes. I’ve attached the specifications and images of the monitor’s display below. If you’re interested, thank you for your time and help! Please let me know if you need more details. Specs: - Intel Core i7-4790k - ASUS Sabertooth Z97 MOBO - ASUS Strix GeForces GTX 970 - Samsung 850 EVO SSD 1 TB - Seagate 1 TB HDD - Corsair Cube Case - 5 Fans (4 intake, 1 outtake) - Cooler Master Fan/Heat Sink (model uncertain, similar to Hyper T4) PS: I’m aware my system is quite old. I intend to upgrade it next month. IMG_4741.mov

The video file doesn't appear to load on the initial upload, which is why I added a download option.
