I have been having this problem for a few weeks now. I turn on my computer and after about 5-10 minutes all of my monitors turn a random color, usually a green or a grey, and the computer completely freezes. The only way to stop it is to completely power her down. I've taken out and reseated literally every component and swapped all all the monitor cables and this still happens. If i have music playing that freezes as well, so this lets me think it isn't a problem with the displays or the graphics card. Regardless if I open any programs or not, this still happens. Any advice would be appreciated.

 

Specs:

FX 8350

EVGA 650W gold

4x4 crucial ballistix sport 

Sapphire Radeon RX 470 turbo 8gb

970a-DS3p motherboard

1TB WD Black hard drive

Cryorig H7 cpu cooler with ample case fans (cooling isn't the problem, I've monitored the temps while it happens and the CPU and the GPU both idle around 30C)

Sounds a lot like a GPU issue. When you say the monitors turn a random color do they still display what was on screen or does it start to look like static?

They literally become one solid color as in the entire monitor becomes solid green and whatever sounds that were going on freeze and repeat. No image is displayed just one solid, static color.

I am 99% sure that is an issue with your gpu. If you have a warranty you should look into getting a replacement

I still have the old GPU that i upgraded from and that one still works fine so I'll swap it in and see if the issue persists.
