Comment on No one: Laptop. Could this be hardware or software related?

Does it happen faster the 2nd time around? Probably a heat issue. Make sure the fans are working and the heatsink fins are clear of dust and debris. Try that first, and run a gpu stress test mprep.info/gpu/ but it could also be drivers as others have mentioned, or even a faulty or incorrectly seated ram module.

Heat is probably a trigger, but the GPU shouldn’t artifact even under high heat, the system would throttle or shutdown.
Heat may have caused this long term, and dusting may alleviate the immediate symptoms, but the GPU is still dying
