If you use an nvidia or AMD graphics card, go to the website and download the latest drivers for your device.

If it works fine in safe mode then it's probably a software problem--probably driver.

There's a possibility parts are overheating, but that's VERY unlikely since I doubt you're doing graphics burn-in tests, which are the only thing that would overheat it in 1 minute flat.

While in safe mode, uninstall the video card from the device manager and restart normally, does it work better after the system picks it back up?

does your laptop have switchable graphics, it might be possible to only run integrated but i'm not too sure
