That is seriously beautiful. Because you fix it, you should capture some images.

Your video card look like it's getting old.
Try plugging the monitor into your motherboard instead of the video card, see if you still get the issues.

Actually yes if you havent already done this try it.

Most will have a graphics chipset paired with a graphics card i.e Intel 4000 chipset paired with an nvidia gt770. So if you plug it into your motherboard rather than graphics card you could rule that out.

IF YOU ARE ON A LAPTOP. Go to your device manager and try enabling your chipset. Though my graphics ARE a chipset at least on this laptop, so I have only one.


Also it couldnt hurt to right click in an open space in your device manager and scan for new hardware changes. If it finds anything it will prompt you to restart the computer.

The thing is, is that screenshots shouldn't be able to capture the artifacts. This is why this confuses me so much.

Re: Weird graphics artifacts that randomly pop up

How is it possible that this shows up in the screenshot. I am befuddled.

It has to be something that is drawn by computer itself. A program? Then again, I've never seen a program glitch the graphics in that way. Maybe it's the software for the graphics messing up? Is your Motherboard old?

Motherboard -> HDD -> Windows -> Prtscrn
If we look at it like this, Prtscrn is a Windows exclusive command and therefore the problem is probably being contained in Windows itself. It takes whatever the computer has drawn in its current state and copies it to the clipboard. Therefore, the problem is probably contained within Windows itself. What could cause graphic distortion would have to be related to the graphics card, which has software that Windows uses to control the Graphics Card, if I am thinking about this correctly. What could mess with drivers? The Hard Drive being corrupt, or maybe screwed up is a possibility, which would load the drivers off of the disk improperly. If the Hard Drive itself isn't fucked up, then maybe the motherboard is processing the hard drive's contents improperly, and executing it in Windows improperly by extension.

The problem is that OP hasn't mentioned any other Hard Drive related issues, so I think I might be wrong on this one. But I feel like I'm not too far away from the answer.

just my 2cents, I probably have no clue what I'm talking about.
