So i was playing AC: 4 Black Flag, and my whole PC Crashed (Brown-ish Screen and i needed to shut it down)
I was thinking it was from the game, but after few days, it happened again and now i can't launch the PC with my drivers. When I Reinstalled Windows (and removed the video drivers in that way), i could launch my computer, but there are 2 big green vertical Lines, and can't install video drivers cause it won't launch again

The GPU is 3 years old (Amd R265x)
Soon i will buy a new one and see, cause i read somewhere that the problem is from the GPU

I Tried with changing the monitor - didn't work

Just for clarification so that I understand - you do not see those lines when using the on-board video (iGPU / APU)?

If you only get the green lines with the GPU regardless of the OS environment (have you tried running Ubuntu from a flash drive?), then yes I agree, most likely a faulty video card.

Green or pink lines are often caused by faulty hardware or an improper video cable connection. Where the fault is actually depends on a process of elimination. But typically it's the monitor (LCD panel) or the GPU.

Try re-seating the video cable, or try the on-board video if your CPU supports it (iGPU or APU)

Tried with Unplugging the GPU - No
Tried with other monitor - no
Tried with new HDMI Cable (Monitor to PC) - no
Tried with on-board video card - 16 MB Video - i can't do anything with it
I am stuck with 2 big lines and default drivers, so i will buy new GPU
