    Sound like it may be corrupted video memory. Can you post a link to a vid? Or you could just attach a pic. Have you tried contacting MSI?

    Flickering could describe low clocks, prehaps at game menus and that etc,

    Artifacts, depending on what they look like could be coming from a malfunctioning core or memory blocks.

    What to do: Get it in for warrenty immediately.
