    I think your graphics card is melting down. But I don’t actually know what this is.

    Must’ve booted up etchasketch

    Those are dust you need to wipe it off

    Completely paint it black to confirm the death of your GPU. ☠

    Probably a dead gpu, but to be sure, boot up via bootable usb just to make sure its not a driver issue (had some of my own when using pop os).

    Looks like your GPU is outputting a resolution your monitor doesn’t understand. Or it’s dying.

    It’s like watching someone trying to die to get rid of the murderers in those cartel videos

    Reminds me of the old days when Windows 95 would get buggy and you could grab the notification box and drag it all over the screen, creating a glitchy/buggy “design.” Good times.

    Gpu decided to kick the bucket it seems

  10. My PC sometimes does this with a folder if I leave it open for too long, whole thing goes black and I have to move the cursor over everything to ‘unlock’ it lmao. If the rest of the comments are true and it’s the gpu then that may solve my issues of my PC BSOD only when playing games for a while.

    The X cursor literally means this is Xorg early in the startup procedure. Your DE seems to have failed to start, and only halfway set up the display buffer. Xorg is turning all the garbage data left behind to black when you move your mouse over it because there’s nothing actually behind it, and it looks like it only updates the screen in a small box around the cursor, or if something else is behind it.

    tl;dr The black screen is the actual thing that’s supposed to be there, the weird corrupted looking stuff would appear to be the blood splatter from your DE tripping and falling into a wood chipper. Xorg is only cleaning up where the screen changes, i.e. where you move the mouse.

  12. My GTX970 did this for a week or so.

    RIP GTX970.

    Your GPU is saying goodbye with one last artwork

    Hard album artwork bro

    Your gpu is trying to fry eggs rn

    It’s called windows paint, look it up. But no an app is crashing but the OS hasn’t detected it yet. Close the app that is used as an ad hoc canvas and you’ll be back to work in no time

    It ain’t got no gas in it (Think your GPU is fucked mate)

    r/pop_os Maybe the driver – most people in this sub are Windows users with descrete GPUs.

    I see a red door and I want it painted black

    can happen if some error occurs with drive that has os on it, try to hard reboot and should work, but also could be GPU dying

    It reminds me of this old app which allowed you to “break your desktop”
