This laptop is like 10 years old and belonged to my dad before he gave it to me so I could use it for studies (I have a different gaming PC). I hope it just requires an OS reinstall…

Does the bios screen display ok before boot?
If not you might have a loose cable between the motherboard and display.
The power light keeps flashing when I turn it on now, so I suspect it might be RAM failure.
Yeah RAM or GPU
I’m thinking it might be RAM cause when I booted it early today it had a similar corruption happen just as I opened a few tabs on Firefox, then it wouldn’t start. I fully charged it and tried to start again, and it was working fine until the login screen, whereas it corrupted again and resulted in the photo I took.
If it has multiple sticks, then you can probably figure it out quite easily. I doubt both would be dead at the same time.
It’s a single stick :|
It sounds like its removable then at least
