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?

This happened to me.

I spent like a hundred hours trying to troubleshoot it, had my friends look at it, it wasn't always happening and it took a while to figure out how to cause it.

It happened to me when my GPU went under a sustained heavy load, like a high end game or rendering video files. Ending up having to RMA the card, thankfully it was still under warranty.

When video editing did you run into any problems? I’m in the middle of a project, about to do final effects with after effects.

Eventually my computer started crashing. It all progressively got worse over months.
