Computer freezes/crashes randomly and shows stripes
Hey everyone,
Since yesterday, my computer started freezing randomly in games or even when im just idle. The screen would take any color (pink/yellow/black) and it would have vertical lines through it. I haven't really touched anything and I have no idea if these are signs for a bigger problem if I don't do anything about it. The sounds kept going, I could continue talking in skype too, but I couldnt alt+tab or ctrl+alt+del. After 5 mins I decide to hold the power button to shut it down because there is no other way to do so. It happened 3 times yesterday spread over 6 hours. The last time it freezed my whole computer crashed so I'm not sure if it will get worse if I don't do anything. If anyone knows what this could be or had this problem before I'd be glad to hear from them, I appreciate all the help I'll get.
EDIT: Found a screenshot I made yesterday while having this problem, im back on my computer but it might happen again in a few hours. Screenshot: https://i.gyazo.com/5547aa0acc31a67c...7315a83b2e.png
