I am new to the forum and may have posted this in the wrong post, if I did I apologize in advance. I recently did the latest update of windows 10, and have upgraded my video card drivers to the latest drivers. While waiting for a game to load, I went to click on a picture on my browser to open up and my screen popped up with these weird lines.
Here is an image of what it looks like:

My computer is not frozen; this has happened multiple times and I have connected another monitor while it was frozen and could use the other monitor just fine while the other was frozen. This has happened to me a couple times and I can't seem to find out what causes it exactly. I noticed that after the first couple times my monitor was flickering (especially on the color aqua blue..?).
I unseated my RAM as well as my video card and all my cables, and the flickering seemed to go away. Could have been a bad connection somewhere with my HDMI or something of the sort. The problem continued to happen.
My next thought was to run Heaven Benchmark to see if I could replicate the 'crash', but nothing happened.
I have had this PC built for about a year and half or so and it just started happening.
Here are my specs;
AMD FX-8320: 8-core @ 3.5 GHz, not overclocked.
8GB Corsair vengeance RAM
Radeon 7870 DC2
Corsair CX500 power supply
Corsair H80i CPU cooler
UPDATE
I have found that I can replicate the issue by waiting for Battlefield 4 to load and while playing music on Spotify and going to YouTube. I can get it to go away by closing out of Spotify by using my second monitor. Hope this helps someone figure this out.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
