Hello

Colored squares usually means the card is failing. Do you get the odd colors during the boot sequence?
 
no, they only come while gaming or watching youtube they come and dissapear again, and the weird thing is when i take a screebshot they are on the screenshot too
 
I concur with veeg, hardware is failing.
you could remove the GPU, wipe it down with a brush and wipe the contacts both on the card and in the mobo slot.
reseat it and see how that goes.

if it only happened during YouTube, I would suggest upgrading your browser to the latest version or even trying another browser to verify that fact.
but since you say it's also durng games, that would suggest a faulty graphics card to me.
