HELP: Screen discoloration even if on external screen

[CapuShort95]

I know little to nothing about computers but I read somewhere that this kind of thing is a sign of graphics card failure. The problem comes and goes but it shows up even when I connect my laptop to a projector.

Is this the end for my laptop? I obviously can't replace it on my own but any quick and temporary fixes are appreciated

Also can someone please explain what happened & how it could have gotten like that?
Background info: never had the blue screen of death. Aspire S3 with i3 core. Graphics card is the intel one?

Hi,

If the same problem does happen on a connected external display that means it's really the graphics card that is faulty. Please do try doing a clean install of the graphics card driver using this link below for the complete guide.

If these will not work it's definitely the GPU that is faulty already.

Thanks will try it. If the GPU is faulty, that means it's the end unless I replace it right?
