Hey,

Basically, my screen suddenly turns green (Using Windows 10). It happens randomly, let's say 2 times a day. Each time I have to click the reset button and when the computer restarts everything is normal - until it happens again. If something is playing, there is sound for like 1 or 2 seconds after it turns green and I can't do anything but click the reset or power button on my case. Could it be that the graphics card is dying (R9 380) or something is going on with the monitor? Or could it have to do something with drivers or whatever?

Let me know if you have experience with this or you know a fix, thanks!

Desktop/laptop, system specs?

Windows 10: Run Reliability History and Event Viewer to look for warnings and error codes. You may see some constant issue or pattern.

If you have a desktop another option is to power off and unplug.

Then open the case and check that all seatings (cards, chips, memory, jumpers, etc.) are fully and firmly in place.

Do the same for cables.

It's a desktop. Will definitely try to see if there's a loose connection somewhere, thank you for the suggestion boss

EDIT:

Unfortunately it still randomly happens :/
