I fear my MacBook just bit the dust. I did an NVRAM reset and when the machine rebooted I got a display with red & green vertical bars. I'll try to attach a photo.
This is on a 2011 17" model so I've already deleted all my AMD drivers. It happens from boot so it happens even in safe mode. I've already attempted an SMC reset and multiple NVRAM resets. In some apps like Brave I get a really slow refresh painting animation. The on-board Intel GPU seems to be struggling hard. Only other data point I'll add is it's cold in this room (40°?) but nothing else out of the ordinary. I can't even use this machine as a desktop since the external display is driven by the AMD GPU.
This will probably be the last Mac I own. Been using them daily since 1986, so if this is it what can I say but so long and thanks for the fish!
