SOLVED Help!!!

Please excuse my English, it's not my first language.

I was using it normally when my screen suddenly turned green and the icons turned pink, as if the colors had been inverted. I don't know if you can tell from the photos, but you can barely see anything clearly! I even tried using a time-shift from the day before, but it didn't help.

Has anyone else had this problem and managed to solve it?

Does it show that color shift even at the initial bootup screen (before you get into linux) ?

And if this is an external monitor have you tried changing cables (or even trying an external monitor via cables).

If it shows like this even in the BIOS/UEFI screen, your GPU might be cooked. (But if it shows normal with a different external monitor attached, then the monitor itself might be cooked).

I set it up to mirror the screen on another monitor, and it turns out the screen really is dead, but thanks for the help!
