If you have any external display / TV that is compatible with MacBook Pro try to connect and see if the issue is persistent on external screen as well.


Helps to isolate the issue.


It could be hardware issue related to RAM/Display Assembly/Logic Board.

You need to get it serviced or repaired by Apple.

If this happens after the apple logo when booted, start in safe mode and verify if issue still happens.


How to use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support

Note: Safe mode prevents your Mac from loading certain software as it starts up, including login items, system extensions not required by macOS, and fonts not installed by macOS. It also does a basic check of your startup disk, similar to using First Aid in Disk Utility. And it deletes some system caches, including font caches and the kernel cache, which are automatically created again as needed.
