Hello,
I have a PC with dual boot (Linux Mint/Windows 10).
It has been suffering with screen freezing frequently. It happens randomly, sometimes while gaming, sometimes during common use (my impression is it happens more during gaming).
I don't know what should be done, I believe that it is a hardware problem but without spare parts, or money, it is difficult to determine it.
I come here to ask if anyone has had this problem before and what actions did you took.
Here follows a video I did during one freezing occurence.

Here follows a video I did during one freezing occurence.
Actions taken:
- I have done memory diagnosis from Windows and didn't show any errors.
- Updated drivers, didn't work.
- Updated BIOS (Ver. 3002), didn't work.
- Clean install with Windows 10 Home (current version), didn't work.
- My computer suffering from electric discharge a long time ago which destroyed a couple parts. I took to maintanance and they changed the ones that were no longer usable (I believe they were the motherboard and GPU). This happened, I think, four years ago. However, I don't remember if the freezing began immediately after this (can't remember how long has this been happening).
- It is a little dirty but I will pay get it cleaned in april.
- When it freezes, sometimes only holding the power button will deactivate it (reset doesn't work). If I wait long enough, sometimes the reset will work (but the screen still won't).
- I checked the temperature during gaming and idle. On hot days, while gaming, it can get from 65 to 85 degrees. During idle, it is usually 45.
- Although it can freeze both on Ubuntu and Windows, the impression is that it freezes way more on Windows.
- Did Prime95 for stress test (for 27 minutes), no problems showed.
