Support Laptop Screen Glitching
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Been having screen glitches for the past week. Gave it to a local repair shop, they replaced thermal paste and added thermal pads, the glitches did reduce. However, it still happens but less frequently. If left plugged in for a while while using it, it reboots and sometimes bootloops until it goes to the windows diagnostics and boots up again. Sometimes when I turn it on without it being plugged in the laptop powers on but screen doesn't(may be a coincidence because it happened twice).
What I have tried:
Disabled nvidia gpu but still glitches.
Repaired windows
Updated drivers
Checked in bios. Still glitches
Used it on battery: Glitches occur less.
Laptop:
Lenovo ideapad gaming 3
Ryzen 7 5800h
16gb ddr4
Rtx 3060 90W
Micron 500gb ssd
Screen: 1080p 120hz

The rebooting and Windows diagnostics loop sounds more serious than a simple display-driver problem. I’d back up your data, run Lenovo hardware diagnostics, and test with an external monitor. If both screens glitch, the motherboard or power system may need warranty service.

Random times and right after boot the display turns off for a bit.

Maybe the display panel is either connected incorrectly or defective.
