Sounds like it could be overheating - You need to open up that laptop and clean out all the dust from inside and apply a new application of thermal paste.

Theres your problem....

Do it again with some Arctic Cooling MX-4. Alternatively. MX-2 or MX-3 if either of them are cheaper. Clean all the Z3 off with isopropyl alcohol before applying the new paste and dont over-apply it - a small bead will do

Z-3 is trash.

have you checked the ribbon cable? looks like broken ribbon cable
or you can try hook it to external monitor, if it works try to lowering your resolution to check flickering or something weird happened
