My computer was built by me and my older brother and it has been running very well for almost a whole year. Very recently, however, while my brother was playing a game the screen became distorted and it has become very hard to read or play anything. I have cleaned the inside of the computer of all dust, and have also unplugged and replugged everything and the problem persists. Any ideas or suggestions?

So just get a new graphics card or is there anything i can do to salvage it?

Nope, its a paperweight now, sorry. Get a new graphics card or if it's a laptop a new computer.

You've got your answer, but so help me god if you used anything other than a can of compressed air to clean out your computer, I'm gonna be disappointed in you.

Buy a small air compressor, fagtron. Why you would pay for air in a can is beyond me.

Try to delete and reinstall the drivers.
I solved the issue on the computer in my lab who had a similar problem. (strange pattern like you. And eventually blue screen).

there is a cold joint on your graphics card and it can be easily fixed. put the card in the baking oven for a few minutes. it will reflow cracked solder joints. unfortunately it is not a permanent fix so it has to be repeated again in a few months. this is a legit process for fixing proprietary or very expensive hardware that can't be replaced. do your own research about this, there are plenty of resources online.
