Could be the GPU
Graphics chip, OR it cold be cables shorting. There's "known issues" with the solder joints failing over time on these graphic chips. Shimming helps, reflowing the solder is a temporary cure. Damaged cables can be replaced.
If this answer is acceptable please return and mark it.
Good Luck,

Plug it into an external display, does the problem persist?
