About 3 days ago, I downloaded a windows 10 update (possibly not related) and the next day my computer was acting up. I saw weird vertical lines of pixelation when my cursor was over a tab in chrome as shown in this picture https://imgur.com/a/j52zB which later also showed up in gifs, pictures, and other things on my browsers. https://imgur.com/a/lUasZ Also when going on twitch.tv the audio was very distorted. But watching videos on youtube didn't have any distortion. Confused, I went to twitch.tv on a different browser and the audio sounds normal. And it wasn't just browsers, upon opening the League of Legends launcher, for example, the distortion was there as well. I didn't really understand so I tried all the usual stuff, check updates, drivers, etc. everything was already up to date and whatnot. So I figured it was windows. I reinstalled to an earlier version, which did not fix it either. So I concluded that it must be my gpu. So I swapped gpus with a roommates to see the effect, my gpu in his pc didn't have the issue, but his gpu in my pc still had the problem. That's as far as I have gone, my roommate thinks its the motherboard, but I don't want to have to tear apart my pc just for it not to be the problem, any ideas?

Welcome to PCHF

Try and Re seat your hardware..... To me this looks like a loose ram module.

Youve installed snappy and updated the drivers?
 
Hi MrMango, Welcome to PCHF! :)

Try removing all your Nvidia drivers using DDU by following the instructions from this link, Remove NVIDIA video drivers with DDU.

Then after you have removed all of your old NVidia drivers, download and install the latest NVidia video driver from this link, NVidia drivers.

Also if you are overclocking any components, make sure you set your clocks back to stock speeds if necessary.
