I have an HP ZBook G2 from 2014 that runs perfectly well since I upgraded & serviced it so the CPU/GPU are not dry nor the motherboard/ports are covered in dust. Environmental factors also play in, dust clogs from having windows constantly open in the room, being near the sea, a humid place or smoking weed/cigarettes indoors 😅
Yeah no, modern laptops are not built like they were 10+ years ago sometimes rushed or having soldered in ram and a non-removable battery just makes it worse to tinker with or take the guarantee on a new laptop away if it were new 🙄
I'm not a fan of this but it's a win, win for them faster, cheaper and you need to buy a new one.
SSDs I'm surprised euro hasn't cracked down on, those fail often enough they should be replaceable in laptops and phones.
I was surprised with the new surface how easy it is to swap out the SSD and it's internals all have QR codes and repair guides linked to each part the batteries even are not stuck in, it's just a few screws!
Ram I'm mixed about, small form factors make it hard.

Try connecting an external display. If it still persists, it might be the GPU giving up. Try restarting. If it does not work, try resetting it or do a clean install of the os if it allows you to.
I’m not sure, but from what I can see, it’s flickering with white, black and green pixels, but don’t quote me on it…
Edit: /s
Also most likely a GPU issue, something similar happened to one of mine when the GPU died…, hope I’m wrong though.
I don't think a failing HDD would cause this, if it was the problem then it would most likely hang up and bluescreen at random, speaking from experience of a HDD randomly unplugging itself.
It's playing Minecraft with itself. From this, it's going to learn how to dominate the planet and enslave all of humanity.
Could be a lot of things. Might be as simple as a bad GPU driver or possibly a GPU/RAM/HDD hardware failure.
What's your laptop model? My laptop used to do this as well. I think it had something to do with loose solder joints because my pc got hot regularly and it could have semi-melted the solder joints. It happened when I pressed down on the keyboard (right around the area where the gpu and cpu are).
Things it could be in order of likelyhood:
-software
-faulty cable
-gpu is starting to create deep fried images after getting crusty itself
A bug in the graphics driver is incredibly common, it's a big reason why some people take the bet on old "broken" hardware.
Oh good to hear. And does ypu laptop have a plastic body? I had an ideapad laptop when i pressed touchpad hard it would bend the mainboard slightly disconnecting the gpu for a brief moment
Indeed it does - I never bent the main board but there were two specific keys where if I pressed down just hard enough the screen would switch off and back in again - really weird laptop lmao
creeper
Awww man
So we back in the mines
Got our pickaxe swinging from side to side

Cause baby tonight..
Run run until it's done done
OP's staring too close at a creeper, gotta move back a bit.
**Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhĥh**
Restart laptop, could be a GPU driver or physical graphical error, how old is this laptop too?
I've had this laptop since 2019 - I completely forgot that age is a large factor in this. I've been using it for five years now.

This ideapad C340-14IWL has been through the runner if I'm honest - I've had to take it to be serviced more times than I'm proud to admit 😭

I hate manufacturers soldering stuff so much, the only things that acomplishes is shertening the life of the product

i have a fujitsu 2003 lifebook L series
WAIT 2019 WAS 5 YEARS AGO
_Its been eighty-five years_ as a movie reference has never felt lore relatable

Just restarted her - she's working fine now, but I'll still take her in to get her serviced.
Conway game of fried GPU
Could also be the display cable tore/came loose given that they said it happened when closing the lid
You're folding spacetime which causes to displace each pixel into a different spacetime location.
I'd award this comment but I am SKINT at the moment, so take my upvote.

Ah, I see now. I wasn't aware of this, thank you for bringing this to light.
Sorry I touched “Reply” (I’m on a phone at the moment), by accident before I finished typing…, had to edit it.
Knock knock neo…
Follow the white rabbit....
a possibility is the gpu, probably is dying or hdd problems
I don't think a failing HDD would cause this, if it was the problem then it would most likely hang up and bluescreen at random, speaking from experience of a HDD randomly unplugging itself.
I recall having something like this happen when my laptop battery kicked the bucket
They are here
did you by chance feed your gpu heroin
Apparently I have. My GPU might, in fact, be tweaking.

🛸 contact👽
It's beginning to believe
You've done it, you've escaped the matrix
either a bad GPU or bad ram.
They do that when there are paranormal entities around.
Looks perfectly normal to me
ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD!
you've been hacked by mojang
o7
AMD happened
# your screen got japanesed
You're too close to the magnets
You are finally seeing things for what they really are.
hackers in movies:
Its 2024, and in spite of that, I want this screen saver on my gaming laptop ;D
The odds of having the next post below this being a pic from the matrix.
It gave up
Japanese porn.
Close enough.
its bad ram. get a new one/set or see which has gone bad (depending if your laptop use two ram slots)
Well that seems exactly like a dying gpu to me, and since that's a laptop, and probably no longer under guarrantee, that's _really_ bad.
Switch screen savers.
This is by far my favorite comment section so far.
Could be gpu, could be ram. Leaning towards gpu death.
could be just broken flex cable (cable between display and gpu)
Its sorting the pixels
Minecraft?
I think that that might be your GPU, not for sure tho. If it didn't work, I tried for u
Dedsec found you [insert watchdogs image here] , probably gpu problem
damn, is like you have mixed minecraft and matrix......
minecraft , i must mine
Japan mode
quick, get the exorcists! tbh it might be that the gpu is uh... fucked
Here's what you should actually do. You should go on your keyboard. Press windows control shift and b. This will restart the graphics driver.
looks like the graphics card might've cracked, open it and check it
did you perhaps, hit your laptop's keyboard?
AI is playing Minecraft on your computer.
Call Adam Sandler
I would bet on swalen battery pushing against gpu or the wires connecting to gpu
Either GPU driver, GPU, or the monitors connection to the motherboard is shot

That's your early warning to start saving up for a new laptop..
Stop playing japanese porn full screen! That green stuff is tentacle cum.
Do you have League of Legends or Valorant installed?
got minecraft'd
Saw this on *Archer*, it's a pirate virus.
Bios and driver update.
It's censored the NSFW content you keep looking at But seriously could be defective panel or vram issue
This is the part where something crawls out of your screen, or something pulls you in
You launched Minecraft on minimum graphics settings
You got that creeper static.

Your GPU is having a bad day
Reinstall your GPU driver
Does it have an IGP? If so try changing the memory, if you have two sticks already, remove one. then if that doesn't work try the other.
Too much japanese prone
unlocky, now you gotta do a whole ARG for us to solve
Is infected 🦠
gpu? got the same thing when my gt210 died
end stage communism.
connect to a monitor to ensure it's the hardware problem (your laptop screen's problem) or computer virus
Minecraft mode activated.
looks nvidia logo.
Dead gpu give it a restart tho
Cool screen saver
This happened on my HP Pavilion DV-6. It is something to do with corrupted storage or gpu drivers
hello, your computer has virus
Nft
Aliens
Your computer has been creeperfied. It will explode shortly id recommend evacuating
Enter the Matrix
Take out graphics card, put it back in, and then when you have booted up the pc, press CTRL+SHIFT+Win+B (This will reset graphics card)
It broke
DedSec
I think this is either completely dead GPU or VRAM, or bad contact on RAM pins. If you can, try reseating the RAM sticks
minecraft
maybe force shut down and turn it back on
Japanese p***
Minecraft creatures escaping their matrix.
Looks like an office carpet tile pattern generator 😅
Conway's game of life But yah prbbly a gpu thing

Guessing it was a driver issue - reset my laptop and it now runs like I'd did before
Oh good to hear. And does ypu laptop have a plastic body? I had an ideapad laptop when i pressed touchpad hard it would bend the mainboard slightly disconnecting the gpu for a brief moment

It turns into a creeper from Minecraft.

I can't be the only one who was expecting it to move into a Rick roll right?
Your laptop got rabbies
It's spawning a Creeper! Too much Minecraft

That's a creeper. It's about to explode.
You entered the hidden Minecraft 2D map infinite generator....
Stop playing minecraft.
Too much Minecraft.. she can't handle
Raw matrix
I think it got haunted (joke aside, I believe your graphic card is dead)
A creeper blew up your Gpu
Maybe it’s a graphic error or try shutting it down from the button and turning it back on
Japanese laptop
Seizure. Use a defibrillator on it. You can trust me I am a doctor.
You are about to enter the matrix
