Lenovo 510s - 13ISK suddenly shows some colored stripes and resets
My laptop is about 1 year old. Motherboard was replaced about 3 months ago, after a not so successful ram replacement. Everything was well until tonight. I watched a tv episode and suddenly got a black screen with colored stripes and the laptop reset twich in a row. then I got into repair and managed to load windows, then again, after a few minutes, colored stripes and the laptop stuck. I turned it off and on again, it booted correctly, but when I openned chrome I got this screen which gets worse after a few seconds like you can see in the pictures:

I'm really worried as I start school in a week. What can it be? Looks like a hardware issue, isn't it?
A few more details:
Eariler this evening, the laptop was under quite some stress. many chrome tabs open, watched some 4k youtube videos, used VS Code, but not all simultaneously. I also transferred some files to my phone via an old USB cable. That's probably far from connected to the issue but I'm so shocked I thought I'd mention that.
It first happened when I watched a x265 Video file - the screen got some colored stripes on top, the audio from the headphones stopped, and the laptop restarted itself.
