The screen turns into green pixelated noise
Hello
Today i cleaned my PC case with compressed air , a TON of dust came out of it and the temperatures were great but i noticed it was acting a bit slower than usual. I didn't think too much of it since its an older pc and i don't expect it to be any good. I started up a game and after 10 minutes i started seeing white noise on my screen... the type of noise you see when something is interfering with a signal. I saved my game, closed it and went into detective mode. The temperatures and ram usage were fine but i was still getting the lines showing up and after a while they turned into (around) 4x4 pixels width.
Rebooted and everything seemed fine. Went into youtube, and after around 5 minutes of playing a song i decided to change it, i clicked my mouse, it froze into place for a second and my whole screen turned into green pixels with other colored pixels mixed . Restarting the PC seems to fix the problem, temporally. During video and gaming the temperatures are in normal boundaries. I got a few BSODs which i haven't seen in a while ....
Any ideas ? If you need any info please ask and if this is the wrong section then can it please be moved. Thank you
edit: My GPU has the latest drivers installed. This problem did NOT exist before i did the cleaning. I had 60 degrees celsius from the dust, now everything runs below 40, with CPU being at 27 and gpu at 35.
