Hey I have been having ongoing issues with my PC. Basically when I play a game, everything runs fine, no issues, but then say I alt tab and open a web browser, my screen goes either white or green or red I have had like every color there is, and my computer just freezes up. I have replaced almost everything to try to fix this issue, but I am about to have to buy a new CPU, because I think that may be the issue?

replace:
PSU
Video card
ram
motherboard
case
hdd
sdd
...like I said everything.

SPECS

Asus AMD 970 M5A97 LE R2.0
Amd quad core fx 4100 4.2ghz
Asus gtx 770 OC 2gb
intel 510 series 250gb ssd
500gb HDD
corsair 8gb ddr3
1050w PSU

I doubt this is CPU or hardware related.

I would say it is more a software/driver problem.

Are the graphics drivers upto date and does this happen in more than one game or just one in particular. Some games just do not like to be alt/tabbed.

Its multiple games, sometimes its in the middle of games, I've eve had it happen when I am not playing a game, I'll just have multiple processes going...web brosers, music ..etc. EVERYTHING is 100% up to date, and I made sure all my components were compatible. I completely cleaned off my HDD and SSD and did a new windows install on them, updated everything correctly, but still having the same issue.
