Display artefacts after simple adjusting of images

Question

I just bought a new computer and switched to Photoshop a month ago. Just a beginner with Photoshop. After adjusting the contrast, brightness of 10+ photos, subsequent photos will show artefacts. When I click another command, like rotate, adjust etc, the artefacts disappeared. But once the command is finished e.g. adjustment finished, the displayed image again show artefacts. The artefacts show patterns of part of previous images. Sometimes it clearly shows the outline of a person. I have to restart Photoshop. Again after 10+ photos, artefacts appear. It is a new computer with update drivers and so the advice on outdated display cards or drivers should not apply. It is quite frustrating that this widely popular software does not solve these issues and I cannot find it help. Can someone please help? Thanks.

This is a video card/driver problem, not a Photoshop problem - and an extremely common one, until a driver update happens to fix it. Video drivers are released with one priority: to work with the latest games. That's where the business is. If that means bending the rules, they do. Photoshop is not even a consideration here.
