Hi guys new here, so hopefully i don't annoy too many, basically im having this issue with the pc/screen, after a bit of playing not heavy games, such as fallout shelter or CSS. the screen will have vertical green lines or sometimes just a plain black screen. Im not savvy with pcs unfortunately, and am trying to learn, but this i can't seem to diagnose, I've run coretemp and other systems, nothing major found.Might be old hardware but computer savvy people told me it was okay, bu the issue could be GPU overheating and they couldn't find exactly what is was it either. Below is all the specs i think are necessary.Sorry for this.Below is the screen.Had to take the close shot so lines are visible. I have money to upgrade parts but unsure as to what or if it is worth upgrading if there is a bottleneck.

Hi Dinosaur, Welcome to PCHF! :)

I have a couple of questions to help diagnose the issue. Are you overclocking any components? Have you installed the latest driver for your video card?

Does the black screen happen every time you play a game? Have you tried using a different output such as HDMI, VGA, DVI etc. to see if that makes any difference?
