Having issues with graphics (ASUS GTX 1060)...not sure if this is related to infamous hw glitch

So I'm having issues with my GTX 1060. At first, I thought it was my specific graphics card so I sent it in to ASUS for an RMA. They sent me an email telling me there's nothing wrong with it. Then someone told me about this: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/05-02-added-temporary-fix-pascal-gtx-1060-glitching-after-waking-from-sleep.220670/

Apparently I am not alone, and others with 1060s are having graphical glitches.

However its happening for me on startup. See here: https://imgur.com/a/k4ogl6X

Also, I noticed that when I go to the boot screen in BIOS where I can select a boot drive, I see graphical glitches as well. Here's a list of all my HW:
