The problem is that the system randomly freezes and the screen makes a glitch like this: https://imgur.com/8R1yaKv (not my image), and the only way to restore the computer is pressing reset button( Alt + Crtl + F1 does nothing).
When it happens? Like I said it's kind of random, the first time happen trying to open firefox but after restarting the pc firefox worked just fine. Usually happens while triying to open a program.

1: Reinstall the O.S
2: Format the disk and install L. Mint mate, this only seems to aggravate the problem since the only way to launch the live session was through compatibility mode. When I tried to do a "regular" live session the screen glitches, I tried to install the O.S from the compatibility mode but when I tried to start, the screen glitches again.
3: Disable all effects
4: Check drivers, driver manager says "Your computer does not need any additional drivers."

I'm really green in all this and English is my second language so please be easy on me!

The solution was just to install the Xfce desktop (keeping the same kernel version), things seems to run a little smoother but the system still freezes if I try to open a video editor program or something similar, but for "light" use works just fine. If I get more random crashes I will try switching to an older Kernel version.
Thank you everybody!!
