What's this?

Si, I was restoring my PC when this happened (I think it crashed):

Probably trying to fix itself. If the blue Matrix code looking stuff is not just there for the picture, it may be a bug in the display output. May go away once the system is restored.

It isn't the picture, those blue stripes are physichally there... It's been +2 hours since it freezed, I've done this kind of recovery a few times with that HDD and never had an error.

It's in spanish, it says "Restableciendo este PC 29%", which means "Reestablishing/Resetting this PC 29%". I just turned it off, maybe it boots... Maybe it doesn't

That kind of artifact is generally attributed to GPU failing. Sometimes RAM. Rarely HDD.

 

Could also just be the monitor/TV going the way of the dodo... (It looks ancient)  But since you say it froze there, you most likely have hardware failure somewhere. Even it it "used to always work", a failure is unpredictable.

 

Before going out of your way and try to find which hardware possibly is failing, I would first suggest trying with a clean Windows ISO instead of the built-in Reset feature, which can be prone to failure (as it also doesn't fix drivers issues and can cause the artifacts you're seeing, unlike a clean install which actually removes everything instead of pretending to)

I've been experiencing random freezes for quite a while now, both while gaming and just after logging into Windows. Maybe it's the iGPU, right? I'll try installing everything from scratch, thank you.

Definitely not a good sign then. Do that clean install, if the issue still persist... Well, try testing your hardware with a variety of tools.
