Green Screen on Macbook Air

Ever since I bought a macbook Air in October of 2020, I have been getting a green screen when I turn on my computer. Then sometimes it goes black and I have to hold down the power key and restart that way. Anyone have any idea what's going on and how I can fix it? Thanks.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.2

Guessing this is an Intel MBA as per Date of Purchase. Try - How to reset the SMC of your Mac and perform this action 3 times in a row. Then Test. If no success - asking if there is an AntiVirus Software installed - If No - disregard the next bit. Are there any AntiVirus, Disk Cleaner, Optimizers, Defrag, VPNs etc installed which should be removed as per Developers Instructions. They are useless, unneeded, cause havoc and interfere with the normal operation of the OS. The Built-in Security of Big Sur is all that is required.
