Purple screen with vertical black dots

Its a mid 2012 13" MacBook Pro with a i5 2.5GHz processor and 4gb of RAM

Sometimes when I shut down my macbook, for a moment I see a purple screen with black dots aligned in a vertical form. I have no idea why. It boots up just Fine and I hear no weird or odd noises, though it tends to happen when lots of things are going on and the colorful windmill shows up.

Could it be a hardware problem?

MacBook Pro, macOS High Sierra (10.13.2)

MacBook Pro is not working I just got a new MacBook Pro this summer. Two days ago when I opened my computer there were colorful lines on the screen. Today it randomly shut off and when I try to turn it on the Apple comes on with the colorful lines and shuts right back off. I haven’t really had any issues before and I am not sure what is going on? How do I fix this?
