Hello community!

I've recently built my own PC (will leave specs at the end of the thread) and i've stumbled
into a problem i can't figure out whats being caused by!
Sometimes when i start the PC, it loads normally to the login screen, but after i insert my
password the screen turns into a chess table full of square pixels, after that it flashes
black and it goes into a white screen with random pink/white pixels (picture attached below). Restarting fixes the problem and the computer runs just fine after.

Also i think it could be the GPU since sometimes DOOM (haven't tested other games for now) just freezes and i have to restart.



I can't figure out what could be the cause of this, i've tried downgrading from latest amd drivers
to a more stable version (16.11.5) but that only fixed the issue initially, and
it started doing it again after a while.

I guess this problem appears when i let the PC idle for a while and start using it but i will test that
soon enough and let you guys know.

This is really frustrating for me, and my last solution for this are you guys, I've search around the web
but couldn't find anyone with the same/similar problem.

Anyways hope you guys can help me out, this PC is the first one i've built and i really hope i didn't
mess it bad, or that this problem gets worse.

Anyways here are the specs :

MOBO : Gigabyte b250 DS3H
GPU : RX480 4gb Gaming X MSI
CPU : Intel I3-7100
PSU : Cooler Master 700W (Been having this for a while, don't know if this could also cause the problem)
RAM : HyperX Fury 8GB DDR4
