This.

It happened to me about 2 months ago. Luckily I have access to electronic repair equipment such as a heat gun at my work so I just reseated the GPU by applying uniform heat to it for about 8 minutes.

Card is running without issues now, no more artifacts on the screen. If you don't know what you're doing I wouldn't suggest this though because you will most likely end up damaging your video card.

I've also heard that "baking" your video card has the same effect and can be done easily (there are youtube videos on it) but I wouldn't recommend it unless you have no other choice.

Good Luck!
