Anyone know why my PC started showing these broken pixels?

Hi Andy, thanks for reaching out. My name is Bernard, a Windows fan like you. I'll be happy to help you out today, my timezone is UTC +8.

I understand the issue you have, there is nothing to worry I am here to assist, Before you log in to your PC or even when booting, do you see the broken pixels? if yes, this is a hardware-related issu,e in particular to the laptop LCD, moreover, if you only see it when you login to your device, this issue is caused by miscalibrated display driver, in this case, we need to run a clean installation of the Nvidia driver, this is different from doing DDU or updating the driver as this will remove all entries and replace them with compatible ones, kindly follow the steps from the link below:

This issue happens like about a few hours after I've turned my PC. I normally just play league of legends and watch youtube/twitch. I also can't replicate the issue as its random. I use my pc every day and only ran into the issue twice out of maybe like 2 or 3 weeks.

I just tried a clean Nvidia driver install as I've been on 566.36 for a while now. I'll update if it occurs again.

Hi Andy, thank you for replying, I hope it will be all good after the clean installation of the display driver.
