The main reason why MacBook GPUs fail is excess heat. Often, the dust gets trapped on the fan and radiator affecting the proper cooling of the MacBook and eventually overheating the GPU.
Repeated heating and cooling can then crack the soldered joints under the GPU. Since the solder pads are the communication link between GPU and board, the signal transmission will be poor. The result will be colorful patches on display or application or system randomly crashing.
This is board-level work on the logic board; see also our MacBook logic board repair page.
