    Cyan and magenta artifacts/errors are common with GPU failures.


    If that is whats happened its a "logic board" replacement.

    Let it cool down for several hours and try it again. The GPU heats up so much in these that it can mess with the soldering. There a few cheap hacks to fix this like placing the board in the oven on its own for several minutes at 160 degrees but its a big risk.

    However if its beyond repair its worth it I have got a few macs up and running again this way.

    Do it at your own risk though and the fix may only last a week or a month or a year in my case.
