BSOD bootloop with artifacts

Go to solution Solved by SpookyCitrus,

Looks like a bad GPU imo. 

I was using my old laptop as a source for my tv when it randomly shut down, when tried restarting it went to the windows loading screen and just kept loading till the spinny icon disappeared then just stayed there with the windows logo, I shut it down and restarted, that time I got a boot OS selection menu(I have only windows) after which it showed the windows logo then BSOD  with artifacts

(pic attached)

Laptop is a Dell Inspiron 15r 5537

I7 4500u 

Radeon hd8670m

8gb ram

240gb ssd

The GPU seemed to be already failing for a while cuz I would get artifacts in some games

I had gotten bsod before(same error code) but it would just restart and be fine

P.s. the white stripe on the left is cuz my screen is broken at that side

With its age, it's warranted to do a repaste on the CPU and GPU. Will likely have to fix Windows though with an ISO to get it to boot or reinstall.

 

Other than that, probably time for an upgrade.
