My Macbook Pro 2016 touch bar screen is flickering or glitching

I have updated my MacBook pro os Catalina to Monterey, after updating my screen starts flicking or glitching see the attachment. This is very weird, I cannot work but when I lock the screen for a few seconds it resolves, and then it starts the same after a few minutes. Please, suggest to me the best possible solution as soon as possible as I am having a very difficult time.


MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 12.4

On your Intel Mac—


Try resetting the SMC How to reset the SMC of your Mac - Apple Support see the details.


Try resetting NVRAM/PRAM Reset NVRAM or PRAM on your Mac - Apple Support

(get at least two-three rounds of the chimes when holding the NRAM Reset)


If no resolve try a SafeBoot How to use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support

I have done all the above steps nothing works. Resetting NVRAM worked for a few days but after it is happening again. Is it something with Memory consumption?


I would suspect a hardware issue—


In or out of warranty you can get a free over the counter 'Apple Service Diagnostics' test /assessment


Make an appointment for a "hardware issue"
