Hi.
I'm a IT Tech mainly concerned with hardware, so I cannot diagnose software issues to any great degree, you have given only a small amount of info, it would help if you could do a "System Report"
Quoted from the LL "Help File"
"Create System Report
Linux Lite comes with the Create System Report tool found under Menu, System. This tool helps our Support team more accurately identify any problems you may be having, thus providing you with better service. Click here to learn more about this." (use the URL below)

The first thing I would do is to check for air flow problems, PC's are normally easier, disconnect power from the box and open the case then look for dust on fans and heatsinks, make sure you have adequate light to see, use a small stiff paint brush to clean out the dust from the heatsink fins and on the fans as well as any other place there may be dust then vacuum that dust away, also there may be dust in the PSU (Power Supply) the PSU needs to be cleaned also if full of dust, you may need to have a qualified electrician do this by law.
If it is a Laptop, look on youtube for the model, include the word "Dust" in the search and there is a good chance a tutorial exists to explain how to clean that model.
Outside that, there may be a plethora of other hardware problems, there are procedures to track down the cause of the problem, faulty video card for one, if a desktop, and it has an "Add Inn Card" as well as an "on-board GPU" you can remove the add inn card and plug your monitor into the onboard and see if the problem still exists, another easy job is to remove and clean all add in components, (Ram, Video Cards etc) and clean the contacts with cotton ... such as a handkerchief or a clean piece of cotton shirt with a small amount of alcohol (Isopropyl) and clean the slots on the Motherboard with a small stiff brush with a small amount of alcohol also.
Check your BIOS settings to make sure the machine is not being overclocked and overheating, perform a reset to defaults if you cannot work that out.
BIOS update may help also, check the OEM's website to see what any release(s) fix.
Try another distro or the alternative "Bit" OS, IE, if you are using 64 bit, try 32 bit, or try Lubuntu or any other flavour and that will give a firm indication of whether the problem is a hardware or a software one.
Hope that helps.
