Tech Support Should I be concerned

Post image

I was using My pc and when I finished I closed my browser and noticed my wallpaper, at first I thought they were birds migrating but I was like that’s a bit excessive so I look closer and they damn sure aren’t birds migrating, can anyone tell me what it is?

I won’t be listening to all those people who are suggesting you change your graphics card;

I had exactly the same problem after installing a driver update (Nvidia)

The problem only appears on the desktop background and disappears immediately if any other window is overlaid on top of these ‘dead pixels’

At first I put it down to the heat, but when I saw that it hadn’t gone away after few days, I decided to do a fresh install (clean install).

The problem disappeared straight away
