Hey everyone, I purchased an EVGA GTX 960 at the beginning of September, and it worked fine until recently.
 
I am now having color issues when I use a DVI cable to hook a monitor up (it looks like it is missing red entirely), and when I plug in via HDMI my computer generally runs for about 5 minutes before I get extreme artifacting and the computer crashes. This is what the screen looks like when I get the HDMI-related issue: 
 
I'm not sure why it would randomly stop working after being fine for 2 months, but if anybody has any ideas on what I can do to fix it I would be greatly appreciative.
 
For the record, my PC is an otherwise stock Dell XPS 8700 with an additional 8GB DDR3 memory card.

    That looks like the VRAM is failing. I don't think that can be fixed by anything other than RMAing unfortunately.

    That's what I was afraid of. Thanks!
