Basically I was playing a game, skyrim to be exact, and the computer started overheating. Something that has never happened before. It shut off once then I turned it back on and went about my business. About an hour later the computer randomly shut down again and when I turned it back on half of the screen was messed up. The right side of the screen has vertical lines of many colors while the left side is completely fine.
I opened the laptop and attempted to reattach the screen to see if that was the issue but sadly it wasn't. If anyone could give some input I would greatly appreciate it!
