I'm having a problem with my PC, when I'm on YouTube some videos randomly crash me to a coloured screen of lines with a bar at the bottom of the screen being black, can anyone help out? I know it's not my graphics card...

Have you changed anything with your PC recently? What graphics card do you have? Make sure it's is firmly slotted in and the cables are securely in place, it might seem like they are when in fact they aren't.

Yes this is a brand new computer build, I'm using the graphics card temporarily. I took the graphics card to the store and it's ok.

Ok, have you checked that it's securely slotted in the motherboard and the cables are all the way in?

Then of course you can try things like taking the graphics card out and seeing if the problem still persists with on-board graphics. Change monitor or monitor cable. Make sure monitor cable is securely in. Update to new drivers if haven't already - (doubt that will fix anything). Clean your PC, unplug GPU then plug it back in. Try any of those :p  Do you know if the PC crashes or is it just the Visual symptoms? Chances are that it's either a monitor cable problem or a GPU problem.

They are just visual symptoms because if I close the browser it'll return to normal. I will try what you said and see if it helps.
