Default Computer freezing

My computer keeps freezing, and the screen looks puzzled. I/ve already
re-booted it, and did a maintanence scan however that did not help. Any
suggestions.

If the screen gets corrupted with bright colours and other weirdness it
sounds to me like symptoms of the graphics card overheating.

Try pulling the side of the case off, and if you've got a desktop fan
kicking around point it at the machine, see if it still crashes then.

Or try booting in SAFE mode.
If you can then it is a driver.
