Note the at least 3 literal errors on the pass screen...

Edit: Votes don't matter to me, but if you missed the three obvious errors on screen, you shouldn't be a technician. The problem was failed integrated GPU capacitors.

Again, please re-read my comments.

I didn't say the GPU was faulty, I said the GPU capacitors were faulty.

Please learn the difference between components.

Please.

that still doesn't explain this specific behaviour. habibi why are you so mad

I replaced the obviously exploded capacitors, and the system worked fine.

Explanation is simple, diagnostic software ain't smart enough to identify that capacitor C307 or whatever is expanding and about to explode, but putting your own human eyes on it can reveal a lot!!
