A computer I built for my brother a few years ago seems to be dying. It shows horizontal red lines on the screen and won't boot into Windows 10. It goes to startup repair, which fails. Apparently it had been crashing occasionally during use, although I was not the one using it. What is the problem most likely to be? Video card, memory, SSD failure? I actually managed to check the SSD and hard drive health before it fully died in crystaldiskinfo and they seemed fine

I’m 99% sure it’s the video card and it’s locking up the system when windows tries to initialize it. Swap it out with another and re-test.

Sure enough, yanking out the graphics card and switching to onboard video makes it work fine. Thanks
