is this in the right place, i assume so.
sometimes when my csgo crashes i reopen it and then start getting some wierd flashing multicoloured lines accross my screen. if anyone could help i would be so happy since this is the same build i returned once for another problem already. It has also only happened whilst playing counterstrike go so far.

It's a glitch in some games. In any case, I'm 75% sure you'll be able to tweak a setting in drivers to fix it if you're not getting the same problem in other games or applications. If you see it in other things, though, you'll have to test hardware.
 
Yeah, try turning down all the settings as low as they go. If it still does it, you probably have a driver issue. If not, it's a game issue.

If it's a driver thing, then do a fresh installation after using Display Driver Uninstaller ("DDU"): http://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html

Get the latest version toward the bottom of the page.

Let it take you to "Safe Mode" for the uninstall, and don't do it in another mode because it won't work right. It will require a few restarts.

Then download the latest graphics driver from either Nvidia or AMD. That will give you a working driver without traces of the old, broken one.
 
hey i just found out after its started it does it in every game but not on desktop or youtube anyway. when i restart the pc it stops, also i will try the drivers tommorow but with this information are you sure it could still be drivers
 
As a first step, I always recommend using DDU and installing a clean copy of the newest drivers from the company's website. It gives you a fresh start in just a few minutes, so that you will either fix the issue or else know that the drivers aren't involved in your problem. Without eliminating drivers as an issue, you could spend days screwing around looking for the root cause. Just do it as smart first step. You may luck out too. DDU solves issues after a fresh installation in a lot of cases.
 


restarted pc and fixed does it very rarely now but if problem persists it could be a driver issue reply if you would want help with that?
