Macbook Pro Screen Glitching

Today, while watching a video, My MacBook Pro Screen randomly started glitching. Every icon on the screen had little streaks above it that were green or pink. At first I thought a restart would fix the problem. I restarted the laptop, and when turning back on it was fine for about 2 minutes and then did the same thing. I tried scanning for viruses, booting into safe mode, and nothing. (this MacBook is 1 month old) I have never dropped it or spilled water on it so it was very weird for it to be doing this out of the blue.


I thought It was a software issue, so I tried erasing the whole laptop and reinstalling the operating system on it.

Doing this, it was fine, I thought the issue was solved, then after a hour of use, it came back.


This time I have ran out of ideas. I do not want to take it to the Apple Store cause they will say that I caused the issue and I have to buy a whole new laptop.


This is unbelievable considering that this laptop is only a month old!!


If someone could please help it would be greatly appreciated

Slightly different take on this issue


When the machine was wiped and reinstalled the OS


Did you Migrate Everything Back from a recent TM Backup ?


You had earlier mentioned " I tried scanning for viruses "


This would have meant there was a Third Party Security Software installed at that time


If and only you can answer this


If after reinstalling the OS and Migrated everything back again


It would have probably Re-Introduced the Third Party Security Software back into the clean installation


Whether the AV Software was the root cause of Original issue in unknown at this time
