https://photos.app.goo.gl/xq9sfD0yFdrdTGV43 This just happened.

 

I was sitting in front of my computer doing some marking when the screen and sound went crazy.

 

I powered it off and restarted and seems to be working fine?

It happens. Might be a sign of impending gpu failure, or nothing at all, or something in between.




Swype on iOS is detrimental to accurate typing. Apologies in advance.

That's your computer saying its time to do a backup. :)




Life is too short to remove USB safely.

A backup that doesn't overwrite any earlier data, in case there's corruption already. An incremental backup, for example.

I had an extremely similar problem (except the screen flashed full screen colours for about 30 seconds before a system freeze took hold) after KB4051963 installed on Saturday. I rolled the security update back and the problem has gone away.
