I built a pc 3 weeks ago and it started acting weird. i had some problems installing the gpu to case and mobo, but its been working fine for weeks so i didnt think there was any problem. but now i started having issues. it doesnt happen all the time. i can play games for hours and no problem, but when i boot the pc, 2 out of 5 times i see this:

distorted colors and everything. i can use the pc but it looks like this. it goes away after i reset the pc for a couplenof times. sometimes its not purple, its red, pink etc. and the last time it happened, it happened after a freeze. pc froze for like a minute and i couldnt even move the mouse so i had to restart, on the login screen, i saw the colors again.

i hope someone can find out what the problem is. i hope its not an hardware issue since its a new build. ive been been using the gpu for 2 years its from my old build and its been running fine, it runs idle most of the time so i dont think it got old. as i said, i play games for hours with no problem, but this color thing happens on some startups and it froze today.

thanks in advance.

Full aystem specs?

What type of cable are you using between your monitor and gpu? Vga? Dvi? Hdmi?

I would try reseating your gpu. Also i would reconnect both ends of your monitor cable.
i use Hdmi.Components are:
asrock b450m hdv
ryzen 2600
gigabyte rx460 4gb
2x8gb patriot 3000mhz ram

today i tried to reinstall gpu drivers. i uninstalled them in control panel and installed again, and screen turned green while installing. after that, i restarted the pc and i realized that monitor shows a weird screen just like old tvs do when there is no signal for a second(static, noise whatever you say), and a whole green screen for another split second before i can see the desktop. it happens almost everytime i restart the monitor. i dont know what all this mean and im frustrated, its a new pc its not meant to be that problematic. here are the pics of green screen during installation. it didnt go away until i restart the pc.
