Artifacts only in BIOS and during Windows boot, most likely caused by monitor

I've noticed that about a week ago weird artifacts started appearing on screen during windows boot and in BIOS. They only occur when the PC was turned off for at least a couple of minutes and appear also on monitors OSD settings. They always disappear before windows boots to the login screen. I think I've already tried everything, plugging different HDMI/DP cables to differnet ports (both on GPU and MOBO), I reset the monitor, BIOS, cleared CMOS, enabled CSM and disabled full HD display in BIOS settings, flashed new BIOS. My monitor is AOC24G2SPAE/BK.
That's how it looks like View: https://imgur.com/a/MMX5mYQ
 
Have you tried the monitor on another PC?
does windows have drivers installed for the monitor?
That would be only reason I see why they disappear in windows. Seems windows fixes it... which is different. No guarantees it will keep fixing it though.
if it shows on two PC, its likely the screen is on its way out. Going bad.

most people seem to get horizontal lines, not vertical ones. I assume glitch is the green lines above the QR codes, or is it also the colours in the scroll bar?

Glitches appear only on the bottom 2/3rds of the screen (starting below the ULCK=MEMCLK option). I tried uninstalling monitor's drivers in windows and it looked fine, but didn't fix anything with BIOS. I think BIOS resolution (which is set to Full HD, but it might be glitched) might cause it. I don't have any other PC or monitor now to test it ;/
 
ULCK=MEMCLK
ahh, the purple. I saw that.

most bios run at 1080p by default now. Its the standard size for monitor so its not running at a resolution monitor can't run.

what refresh rate are you running at? have you tried lowering it? or raising, since I see monitor can do 165
possibly similar
lowering refresh rate on AOC monitors tends to help with lines and such.

Lowering the refresh rate to 120Hz helped a lot. The issue in BIOS is gone now, it only appears during Windows startup.
