I have been using my PC for around 6 years now, with no real issues, however a couple of months ago my computer began to randomly crash, with red lines appearing on the screen and the screen would sometimes turn black/grey/green as well, and I would have to turn it off.
After it started happening I tried many fixes, including removing all suspected viruses, uninstalling windows updates and installing newer ones (which I thought may have been the problem as it started to happen after an update, but it doesn't seem to be), and others which I unfortunately can't remember, however I have not attempted to fix anything within the actual computer as I hoped to avoid that, which it looks like I won't be able to.
Patterns with the problem: If I leave the computer alone for a long amount of time and then go back on it, there will be no red lines on start up, and it will take much longer to crash (5-6 hours), however if I go on it shortly after it crashing (<2 hours), there will be red lines on start up and it will crash in a much shorter time.
It'd be massively appreciated if you could give any fixes you may have
