Question Is this a GPU or monitor issue? (Video included)

[Tassodor]

Hi everyone,

I'm experiencing a strange issue with my system, and I’d appreciate your input. Here's what happens:

1. The screen **freezes** for a 5 to 10 seconds, but the audio from any video or program continues playing normally.
2. After the freeze, the screen goes **black** with **green lines** appearing briefly.

I’ve recorded a video of the issue for reference see here -->

I’m wondering if this is a problem with my **GPU** (MSI GTX 1080) or if it could be related to my **monitor**.

Has anyone encountered something similar? Any advice or troubleshooting tips would be greatly appreciated!

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

When posting a thread of troubleshooting nature, it's customary to include your full system's specs. Please list the specs to your build like so:
CPU:
CPU cooler:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
Monitor:
include the age of the PSU apart from it's make and model. BIOS version for your motherboard at this moment of time.

To rule out your monitor, hook it up to another display source/system and see if the issue persists. To rule out your GPU, If you have an iGPU, you can remove your discrete GPU and see if the issue persists.

You might want to use DDU to remove all GPU drivers*intel, AMD and Nvidia) in Safe Mode, then manually install the latest GPU driver sourced from Nvidia's support site in an elevated command, i.e, Right click installer>Run as Administrator.

Thank you for your reply! I've added the technical specifications of my PC to the post. Could you please take a look and let me know if there's anything that stands out or if you have further advice? I really appreciate your help!
