My screen is flickering :(! Help!

Block Image

Alright so, as you can see in the photo that is how it looks like.

My Mac is from Mid 2010 21.5” with 4 GB RAM, running on High Sierra. I have tried searching for a solution online, but I can’t find anyone, who had the same problem as mine.

What I’ve tried so far:

  • Reboot and redownload everything. (Deleted the whole Mac), and still the flickering is happening and keeps shows up.
  • I’ve tried reset NVRAM and SMC, still did not work.
  • Start up on recovery Mode, still did not work. (Also I pressed down D).
  • Updated newest software.

Symptoms other then the flickering screen:

  • I woke up this morning, and the flickering was gone for like 20 mins, and came back.
  • The computer is heating up a lot.
  • The computer ONLY STARTS UP if I hold the down shift key! If i start up normally, then it freezes halfway through booting/loading. (or opening or whatever you call it)

This confuses me, and I hope someone can help.

Ah! Confusion!

Lets step back for a sec … Your system has two graphics services! One within the Intel CPU its self (Intel HD Graphics) and a second discreet GPU MXM board: ATI (AMD) Radeon HD 4670 or Radeon HD 5670.

So what happening here is you are jumping between them! When you startup pressing the Shift (⇧) key you are using the Intel HD graphics as the AMD GPU board drivers are not loaded.

Reference: Mac startup key combinations

Where does that leave us? You have a failed GPU board which will need to be replaced, this is not a software issue!
