when I open any adobe software on my macbook pro the screen begins to freeze, then either multy coloured dots appear or a series of lines and patches of colour appear on my screen. the computer then makes a wooshing sound and restarts.

Missing crucial info: version of macOS please.

Though I suspect your GPU is failing. This has happened on several Macs I've had.
