gfx card artifax

My graphics card keeps fucking up and when i reboot i get huge artifax on the windows loading screen and actual windows is unreadable, but it works fine in safe mode, has this something to do with the drivers? or why does it work ok in safe mode?

so this basically underclocks the card?

in some way, yeah
the system is only using the commands which nearly every gfx supports

yeah i would uninstal your graphics driver then run drive cleaner pro and then reinstall your graphics driver again .Pretty sure that will fix your problem.

tried that already and I thought it fixed it but might try it again with older drivers because i only installed the new drivers about 2 weeks ago.

remove your drivers in safemode and use driversweeper after that just in case, and do a fresh install in windows :P
