I recently noticed a weird issue with my PC. After leaving it on the lock screen for a while, when I came back and pressed the space bar to wake it up, my screen was filled with all these strange artifacts—lines and white dots flickering around. I don't think it's a monitor issue since the options menu displays perfectly clear. I found some threads online suggesting it might be a problem with my GPU, which is a 9070 XT that I just bought a few weeks ago. I'm really hoping it's not a hardware problem. What should I do?

Have you tried restarting your PC? Sometimes a simple reboot can fix those weird issues. It might also help to unplug and replug all the connectors, including the power cable. If you live in an apartment, check if any appliances nearby could be causing interference—things like vacuum cleaners can sometimes mess with your setup. Let me know if that helps!
It looks like you should definitely check the cables and connections. If you haven’t done it already, try swapping out your HDMI or DisplayPort cable—sometimes those can be the culprit. If nothing else works, maybe look into GPU settings or drivers. Just keep an eye on it and see if the problem persists after you troubleshoot a bit.
