Over the past 6 months or so I've had this problem:
While in use, my desktop will suddenly cut to a screen with vertical, white lines. Every time it does it each of my monitors will be a different color and sometimes there won't be any lines at all, just a colored, blank screen. If I have music playing or I am watching a movie it will continue to play (I can hear it) for a few more seconds, but then it makes the horrific crashing sound for another few seconds and finally stops completely.
Whenever my desktop does this I have to force shutdown because it will not shut itself down like a normal Windows crash would.
When I open event viewer, I can see the where I had to shut it down, but there are no other errors to tell me what's wrong.
Someone I know wondered if it was from overheating, but I have never had it happen while doing anything resource-intensive such as playing a game, it's only when I'm doing something simple.
Something very interesting about this problem though is that it will happen at least once per day, but then I can go over a month without it ever happening.
There was a time when I updated my GPU driver and it stopped for a while, but now it happens regardless of my constant driver updating.
Here's exactly what this crash looks like --> https://ibb.co/tz6YV73
Any and all help is appreciated!
