Graphic artifacts on desktop

Furmark is good for testing the gpu while monitoring temps. Turn off IMMEDIATELY if things start getting way too hot. Don't want it 'popping'

I added a bit on to my earlier post as I was wondering if you had dusted the inside of your pc recently. Lots of dust, especially around the hotter components and case exhausts can cause mega problems. A can of compressed air can work wonders.

Tried a couple of things today, took it out, cleaned it properly ( it didnt have too much dust ) plugged it in a different slot and wished myself good luck.

I was running on intel hd 3000, as soon as I clicked on ENABLE on the gtx560, the screen quickly flashed and every froze.

>Restart

After restart I wanted to open chrome, as soon as chrome opened, a ton of visual artifacts, mostly black squares filled the screen for less than a second and everything froze again...

I guess theres no doubt that the GPU is indeed broken
