    It looks like the display has gone gunnysack. You can test it by connecting an external monitor. If the external monitor looks OK, then the display or possibly the connecting cable is bad. If the external monitor looks the same, then it's something farther upstream, likely the video card.

    NVidia GPU failed. It's broadly known issue. Need motherboard replacing.

    Ya I would try the above, see if it does it externally. If it does you have a bad GPU, from the Nvidia defects. If it is clear externally, then your LCD is going bad.

    NVidia GPU failed.Or the rebolling of the video chip (profrying).
    Take your motherboard and use fire, or use oven on videochip
