I'm assuming you've restarted more than once. Any recent trauma? Did it fall? Recent update? How old is the machine?

Turn off the machine and the while holing command + R restart it. Does it go into recovery mode?

I will wait.....

Try plugging it into an external display. If it does the same thing, the GPU has failed. What year and model is your MacBook?

Did not fall. No update needed. Only got it last october/november brand new.

Tried that, didn’t help

Display cable or GPU kaputt
No idea what that is

Take it to an Apple Store genius bar.
They will fix it or REPLACE it.

When you go, make sure you have a pic on your phone like the one above, so you can show them what's going wrong.
