Beginning to think my GPU is dead/dying.
Been an ongoing issue since early 2015 and I tried to RMA it but Gigabyte found no issue with it since it's not a constant problem.
Basically what happens is under load (aka gaming or watching a video in 1080P, even working in Excel full screen) there are a ton of artifacts that show up all over the screen. Most of the time when this happens, the game will crash with some kind of error.

This doesn't always happen though. I'll usually use Furmark and run a load test and if it runs fine, that means I'm good to go for gaming and I won't turn off my computer for awhile. If it's good, it'll stay good until the computer is turned off. Once the computer is off and then back on though, it'll start acting up again 7/10 times.
Obviously this has been pretty annoying. It's been nearly a week now and it still hasn't worked properly.

Corsair CX550M (new)
With all that said, does anyone have a spare GPU they can lend me for troubleshooting purposes? What's a decent video card nowadays that isn't massively overpriced? Computer is mainly used for light gaming (CS:GO, Sims 4 etc.), Youtube, and general browsing. Seeing as how when I built this computer the video card was already an old model, I don't really need the latest and greatest as it's served my needs fine when it was working.
