Not too sure, Try your iGPU and this should give you some answers.

Could be your monitor or its cable. Run the iGPU first as Dice suggested with the same monitor and cable. If it still happens you will know that it's not your GPU.
Then you can look if it's maybe the cable by replacing it, or your monitor by trying a different one. Or maybe even dodgy software (is your copy of 3D Mark legit? Have you tried re-installing it?).

Dots are even on desktop, no matter if 3dmark 11 or not.

Just take your GPU out of the system and plug your monitor into the ports on the motherboard. If you never turned your iGPU off, it will be enabled.

As Feronix said just take out your GPU and plug your monitor cable into the motherboard, There should be a port on the back.
If it boots and the screen is ok then sorry to say but it will most likely be a faulty GPU

Oh god I remember that! It was a signal interruption caused by the pins.ive seen this error before...
answer is its the video cable.
last time i saw this was on a 23 inch samsung monitor the dvi cable had 2 bent pins which caused the issue.
i would swap to a hdmi cable or different dvi dependent on which you have
