Hard drive seems to be working, as I'm copying data to another mac using target mode. It boots into safe mode with the same type of display.
Got a tip for us?

I have a 2011 but it hasn't done that yet.
It's the internal GPU failing. You may find some replacement's on eBay and either swap it yourself or a service center. But at that point I would get all of the numbers and then browse for an upgraded model, either newer used or new new.

My Dad's 2011 iMac suffered the same fate, I followed a youtube guide to take the amd graphics card out and baked it in the oven to reflow the failing solder joints. Worked a treat.
Very easy fix as long as you are methodical and careful removing the connectors to the logic board.
There is a good thread in this forum too showing what you need to do.
