This is kinda a weird pc problem that I've never encountered before. I'm getting this fuzzy graphical distortion thats right next to my mouse pointer and icons. This fuzziness fills the entire screen whenever I try to play games. No idea what could be causing it. Heres a screenshot to give a rough idea:

Any solutions?

    Have you tried the usual fixes, restart, clean out dust, check graphics card connection, check power supply? My first thoughts would be heat or power problem.

    Make sure the fan on your video card is working properly

    After you clean the card, if it's still there you might try the video card's memory frequency, if even that doesn't help then I think the card is just broken, and if it isn't under warranty you need to get a new one...
