https://imgur.com/NkNlUOV this is the image of what usually happens. Basically small boxes that are bright and colorful and they usually move around a lot and twitch. Sometimes there are large chunks of these boxes on the screen when it happens. Usually, I rarely get this anymore and it can happen when I play games, especially highly demanding ones. This time though it just happened when i was chilling in discord. I use a laptop (Dell g5se 5505) and its connected to a monitor that has been used with no problem before. When it happens you can see the boxes on the laptop screen and the monitor so I think the problem is the laptop. Plz help

What are the full specs of the laptop? That looks like a dying GPU to me, but you should try re-installing GPU drivers (and Windows).

Got any questions about my system or peripherals? Feel free to tag me (@bellabichon) and I'll be happy to give you my two cents. 

 

PSA: Posting a PCPartPicker list with no explanation isn't helpful for first-time builders :)

This. Looks like memory artefacts from a dying GPU. It's worth trying to reinstall display drivers but I don't think that will help. If it's under warranty speak to Dell support to have it replaced.
