I was told it was a hard drive issue but am unsure if it is. The fuzzy screen with the loading makes me think gpu. If it is gpu where do I get a replacement? The first 2 pics are of normal boot. The 3rd pic is safe boot and specs. pic 4 is of the entire screen in safe boot.
At this point it could still be the LCD display or the LVDS cable or the GPU card. Its clearly not the Hard drive. Do you have an external monitor which you can plug in to see if the problem follows? If it does then its the GPU card, if not then the internal LCD display and/or the LVDS cable is damaged.
