Classic errors when the GPU still works but has soldering connector-errors which might also cause random crashes/freezes -
first thing to try is plugin the monitor to another hdmi/dvi connector and restart the computer if there's less or no errors.
If its the better, worse or just a black screen that's additional confirmation ... that the soldering tin is loose.
Assuming your cables are fine (wouldn't doubt) and chips/mem/transistors too, warranty gone - you could try baking your GPU,
which sounds crazier than it is. Have done that years ago with my own and the GPU's of a friend worked 2 out 3 times ...
The soldering tin on the GPU board around the chips/transistors/memory gets loose due to temperature changes of usage.
What helps reseating/re-flowing the soldering tin. If you're lucky as there are various tins used for it which might not "reflow"
by baking the GPU (require higher temps which are more likely to damage something) - i kid you you not, it works afterwards up to a year.
What to do?
^ there are for sure better tutorials for it on the web ...

hmm.
then it's either the GPU going dead on you.
or still the connection part is the problem. sadly, going to a shop will probably be more expensive then getting a new one.
well, it's chipset for you i guess.
sorry :(
really hoped it's something fixable

since 2011
honestly i am surprised it lasted this long. extremely low chance its not the gpu or least of all the solder points on the port you used.. and i dont say that with any dislike in brand or type, thats just about the life expectancy of all GPU cards really.

my GPU died 2 weeks ago as well. Running on Intel right now. RIP laptop ;-;
where is my new computer.

The iGPU is noisier because it heats the CPU as well, causing the cooler's fan(s) to spin at higher speeds.
I'd say those glitches are almost certainly a graphics card issue, possibly a defective VRAM chip. The OCCT suite has a graphics memory test module, you could run that and check for errors.

Same as my nvidia GPU... died with some artifacts 2-3 month ago (week or two after warranty expired and that day nvidia released bad driver).
Don't know is it coincident or drivers killed my gpu...
I tried other graphic cards and they worked. After that removed gpu and installed MB card and everything worked fine.
I become pro in heart and solitare :) and 30fps cs go master :)
Try different pci slots, re-attech all cables, look at gpu cooler - is it working and install older gpu drivers.
And pray... a lot of pray :P
Too much money for GPU.
I will need few more month to buy new gpu 1060 or RX - whatever i find cheaper.

So, my screen suddently teared in half vertically, with each half inverted (the left half of my screen was on the right side and vice versa). Restarting my computer only made things worse since not only it happened again but various visual glitches started to appear too.
I don't know if that is relevant, but I took a screenshot when the screen was teared and the image looks completely normal on it.
So of course I'm guessing this is a GPU failure, but how do I make sure of this ? It would be silly to order a new GPU only to realize the issue is still there once I have it. Could it be the PSU for example ? Right now I'm using the motherboard GPU (why the hell is it so much noisier ?) and it's working fine, but I suppose it uses much less power so I can't completely disregard the PSU yet. Or is there anything else that could cause these issues ?
