If you have the feeling that the laptop itself is running, but you just can’t see through the errors, try to connect it to a second screen or even a TV. If you can see it working fine on there, it is very likely that the screen of your laptop or screen cable is faulty or about to fail.

See if it makes a difference if you move the lid of the laptop, which would indicate the cable rather than the screen itself. The same goes if it shows artifacts and or flickering.

Before resigning to sending the machine back it is absolutely worth trying a graphics reinstallation as per our instructions here: https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?59691-Clean-Installing-Graphics-Drivers
Unfortunately this could be a hardware issue and will in most cases only be redeemable through booking an RMA, which you can do with us over the phone or in your customer account on our website.
