How to fix screen tears/artifacts?

I have Lenovo laptop G51-35 with AMD A8 7410 Radeon R5 and has windows 10 v1803. The issue that I'm having is screen tears/artifacts appearing on wallpapers, applications, and while watching a video. I've reinstalled windows 10 and gpu drivers several times, but no change. However the screen tear/artifact does not appear on external screen. What could be the issue here. Is my laptop screen going bad? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Thank you for your help. I think the laptop monitor is going bad. When I connect external monitor, the screen tear/artifacts do not appear.

 

Screen Artifacts and Crashing

The problem: Screen artifacts occur randomly. Artifacts usually get worse before my screen freezes, blacks out, and comes back on. This repeats until it crashes. Once, I got a blue screen with the error code "Memory Management".

Details: I have two monitors and they are behaving the same. This is a desktop computer. The screen behaves correctly in safe mode.

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 285

I've tried:

• Updating graphics driver (twice). Used DDU the second time.
  
• Scanning for malware (twice). I've since wiped all files.
  
• Checked wires.
  
• Dusted computer. Checked fans.
  
• Disabled startup programs (This worked temporarily but would come back the next day. Now, it doesn't work for long at all). I thought the problem was conflicting programs on startup, but I've wiped everything.
  

I'm hoping this isn't a hardware problem. I don't have another computer to test my GPU on. If there is a way to fix this, please help me!
