Although I unplugged the PC, the light is still blinking for 4 hours now. Please help, this is my fourth PC in 2 years

Screen in my laptop is randomly turning "half-transparent" white, what is more intresting nothing frozes at the beggining, after some time white thing spreads on full screen and start frozing image, it also turn color inverted then, it happens mostly when I close or open my laptop, sometimes it disappears when I start moving it, but not always. I tried to wait some time without moving it but that never works.

HP EliteBook 850 G1: My laptop heats up and shutdown

Tue, 31 Mar 2026 13:18:51 -0700

My HP EliteBook 850G1 is over heating, it starts with HP logo showing and that loading circle spins the fan starts to spin faster but it doesn't boot to windows desktop. But at times it boots like nothing is wrong with it, but during normal use at times it goes blank with fan spinning very fast and shuts down.

I've checked the windows event viewer and found that excessive heat event is causing that, so I opened it checked the heat sink it was clean, I refreshed the thermo paste, cleaned the fan, which wasn't very dirty to began with, I used the thermo paste Maxtor CTG8 it's Thermal Conductivity is 12.8 W/m-k, Temperature Stability: -50C -+ 250C, Specific Gravity: 2.8g/cm3, any idea what's wrong?
