I think you just answered your own question. Assuming you reformatted when you got the new hardware, something is wrong with your GPU. Even if you didn’t, that’s really suspect.
When you submit your RMA, make sure to tell them you tried it in a completely different computer rather than complicating the story.

Google claims they do. https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/7060016?hl=en#:~:text=How YouTube Premium supports creators,monthly membership fee with creators.
A search over Reddit would indicate creators actually make more money from premium views than regular ones, but that’s hearsay.
