Hello everyone,

I just built my first desktop PC yesterday, below are the specs
Processor - AMD A10-7850K
Memory - GSkill Trident X 8GB 2400Mhz
Motherboard - GIGABYTE F2A88XN-WIFI
PSU - Corsair 600CXM
Cooling - Corsair H60 Liquid cooling
Fans - two 80mm fans
Case - Cooler Master Elite 110
HDD - WD Blue 1TB

After setting up my desktop i went to the Bios and enabled XMP and AMP, installed windows 8, got the latest drivers, and when i started watching a movie display suddenly froze, mouse was responsive for a few seconds then the entire system was unresponsive, i rebooted, it happened again randomly. I later installed Windows 7 to see if it fixes it but in Windows 7 i get "AMD display driver has crashed and recovered" randomly. No audio or video plays after i get this error, but i can browse the internet and do everything else. All the items i purchased are brand new. This is my first computer build so my knowledge is very limited, i would greatly appreciate if anyone could help me out.

And also i have these faint horizontal lines appearing on my monitor randomly, they come and go.

Thank you
