Hi,
I've read a few of the same issues happening but I'm just confused on what to do. I have little to basic knowledge when it comes to computers so making as easy as it can be to understand will help a lot thanks! :)

There's red horizontal lines across my screen and when playing games (Black Desert Online) the display driver will crash and recover or the blue screen of death will come instead. I'm hoping this isn't a hardware issue within the pc and rather the driver/monitor. If this is an easy fix excuse my inabilities! :(

Here's a link that shows the red lines and a problem with the graphics card (if you need more let me know! ;)):

So my questions:
1. Is it my card or the driver? How do I fix the issue with the driver?
I uninstalled and then downloaded the latest driver - when I installed that and restarted the computer wouldn't start so I had to do a system restore to a time back before I updated it.

2. Is it the monitor/HDMI?
I don't have another monitor/hdmi to test that atm, but the lines don't appear on any of the screenshots if that counts. If I hover my mouse over them they disappear but come back eventually.

3. Also why does the Internet Explorer update keep failing?
I've realised it's been failing for the past 4 ish months.

 
Solution
Intel Core i7-4770K CPU @ 3.50 GHz does have integrated gpu...
wat u need to do is change the display setting in bios from dedicated to integrated and then connect the monitor to motherboard display port...

from initial asesment it seems as though your graphics card is playing up...
try to clean the card of dust accumulation as that can do wonders...also use display driver uninstaller and do a clean installation of ur drivers...
monitor issue is unlikely though not impossible...

also, is ur windows update turned on???

Specs are:
- Windows 7 64-bit
- Intel Core i7-4770K CPU @ 3.50 GHz
- 8GB RAM
- NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780

I don't believe I have an integrated GPU either
