Computer has been slowing down recently and blue screening every so often so I decided it was time to reformat my HD, went ahead and did that and also reinstalled windows 8.1 with a hope of fixing it.
Booted my computer, worked very well and fast, 20 minutes into the session the computer froze up and my display died, I could still hear audio just no visuals. I restarted my PC only to be met by missing pixels on my 'Gigabyte' screen and after that I just had a black screen with random colours literally 5 or 6 1 pixel thick lines. I went inside my computer and looked for lose connections but there were none.
At this point I decided to reinstall windows again with a desperate hope of that fixing it, and it did! for 20 minutes and it crashed again and just restarted the process.
Just FYI:
-I didn't change any hardware or software before this started happening
-Have tried to update drivers but can't do that in Safe mode and I cannot get onto normal mode
-I can boot into normal mode with my Motherboards internal graphics BUT my graphics card has to be unplugged or it wont let me.
