So here's my system, here's the problem.

Booting my PC up can take roughly 1-10 minutes, as you'll note, HDD not SSD. So this is definitely obvious but here's the real problem. At completely random times now the audio and monitor will just die. The screen will take on the color palate of the one major color on the screen. Example: I'm playing WoW, running around in Suramar suddenly the screen turns a solid cyan blue and the audio dies.

I DO NOT GET THE BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH.

Just display and audio dies and I can't recover it without restarting the PC. Please does anyone know what's wrong?

 
If you have graphics or driver issues, one of the most common fixes is a clean uninstall and removal of your graphics drivers.

To uninstall your drivers, first download and run Display Driver Uninstaller, and follow it's recommendations of booting into safe mode and ect.
(This is a direct download link so you don't grab the wrong version)

You'll download a compressed file called "[Guru3D.com]-DDU.zip"
Right click and choose extract.
Go into the folder and run the DDU v##.##.exe
This will extract more files to this folder.
Run Display Driver Uninstaller.exe
Choose Yes when it asks you to boot into SafeMode.
After you've rebooted into safe mode.
When DDU comes up, if it hasn't selected your GPU manufacturer (Nvidia/AMD/Intel) then choose it from the drop down list
Press the Clean and Restart option
If a window comes up asking to disable the Windows automatic installation of display drivers click yes.

After (or before removing the old drivers, just put the new ones on the desktop or somewhere handy) rebooting back into Windows, manually download the latest drivers from Nvidia or AMD, don't use auto detect, choose you GPU model and OS from the drop down lists.
