Could this be hardware or software related?linkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·3 months agoThe pattern looks like a GPU, more specifically a problem with VRAM. This looks like a low to mid range HP laptop, so I question whether or not it even has dedicated graphics. Systems with integrated graphics share RAM to use for graphics functions. To test VRAM, one would use Nvidia MATS/MODS or AMD TServer/Memtune. They are not very accessible for the average user. To test RAM, use Memtest86. This one is free and relatively straightforward. linkfedilink
