Since I had a power surge like a month or 2 ago, My computer will freeze on a random color with vertical lines or horizontal lines. Sometimes both. The color my PC freezes on tends to be the accent color in windows 10 for a reason or another. It's the color when you go to settings-> personalization->colors. There is also always a sound stutter exactly like this one : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24N4ipebCAs . (This is not my video). I was using windows 7 when I had this problem and now it has carried on with windows 10. So I'm pretty sure it is not a software problem but a hardware one. I would like to know some programs to check what components are failing me. The thing is that right now the freezes are not that big of an issue because they occur from time to time. I would say that it happens every 3 days or once a week if I'm lucky. I can play games, be on youtube, or just browse reddit or stay idle and the crash will happen. I have set my computer to make dump files but none are being made. WhoCrashed and BlueScreenViewer can't detect a thing.

You can benchmark everything using a program like Sisandra Lite. Sounds like your problem could be the motherboard, GPU or PSU. You can check your PSU voltages with Speccy, but this won't necessarily tell you that it is bad. Make sure all your drivers are updated and that you run Malwarebytes and a couple of online virus scans. Check your CPU and GPU temperatures also. If no luck with any of these, try the GPU in another system and try another power supply in yours.
