Hey everyone so over the past couple months my computer has kept crashing about once a day with either a white screen or grey screen with horizontal white bars and if i wait long enough the computer restarts itself. I have tried re installing windows and getting the latest drivers for everything but it still happens. what is messing up my gpu, cpu, ssd? please help :(

If it works properly and all of a sudden locks up with screen glitching, I'd say it might be a RAM issue

yeah it does

Try gradually underclocking your gpu. It fixed the issue for me and someone else on the forum earlier today.

If it occurs at default clock speeds, then your GPU may be dying. I had to RMA one of my R9 280x's because I was getting that screen with no overclock, everything default.

Bad RAM would cause the system to BSOD. I'm 99% sure it's your GPU. If your CPU has an integrated GPU, remove the dedicated GPU to troubleshoot it.

Backup: X6 1090T | MSI K9A2 Platinum | 4x2GB XMS2 800 | GTX 550Ti | WD Blue 1TB |  Antec VP-450 | CM TX3 | W7 x64

What vendor and model of card do you currently have? It could still be covered under manufacturer's warranty.

 

Not trying to decentivize your purchase of a GTX 970, just sayin  ^_^

Glad you found your issue. I'd pick up that 970 if I were you, preferably the 970 Strix because it has support for HDMI 2.0. DVI and VGA should he phased out in a year or two.
