This happens every day a few minutes after I boot up my PC.

For example, let's say spotify is open. I'll be listening to music, my screen will go black. My monitor will not go to sleep, though. The music goes all robotic, laggy & glitchy and then I can't hear or see anything, forcing me to restart my PC.

Then everything is fine for the rest of the day.

Why is my PC doing this? Specs in my signature.

There are multiple, simple solutions, but after I give the answers, tell me whether or not you could have caused it according to the answers in a reply, and we'll narrow it down.
*The computer may have been on too long, and your pc is struggling to keep up.
*The graphics card may have been overused
*One component of the cou is incompatible, and causing stress to the computer.

Since these are simple answers, I'll provide some other, more complex answers.

[If I explain this oddly, feel free to ask more questions about it] Alright, it could be a bad video card/sound card. If any of these are incompatible or do not work well together, your ram speed will slow down. The graphic cards/ video/whatever [card's] quality determines how much ram you will get. The more ram the better. If you're getting low ram, the computer will not run quickly, and therefore ceases to carry out certain tasks involving display, sound quality, and other things controlled by the ram.
Try configuring the 'asus bios' settings. Change these settings to the highest ram speed. Other people have asked this question before, so searching the name of it should display some solved questions from people asking the same thing.
Oh and by the way, you'll probably want to check and see whether or not your pc is overheating, if so, get a fan for your pc/laptop.

I can try to route out the issue by using my spare GTX 760. If I don't get these issues with it, I'll know its a GPU issue

[If I call it VPU, that's just a different name for GPU], Well if you know it's a GPU problem, then you'll have your answer, and if you see that it is NOT a GPU problem, then your monitor/desktop may be damaged. Oh, and I've blown out graphics cards before, but before I start telling stories of my cpus... When a graphics card blows out, the screen either turns pink and eventually dies, or it will go straight to the black screen. Ask me if you have any other questions.
