Yup, that's a dying GPU. Quite common with dedicated Radeon chipsets in laptops. You may have the option to disable that and run off the integrated Intel graphics if your computer has that.



Looks like your graphics processing unit is in the process of dying. No, they can't be replaced. I mean they can be. They are soldered to the motherboard and only an experienced tech. should do that. there might just be a loose cable, if you're lucky.
