    We apologize for the inconvenience.

Any possible way to fix this or will I have to resort to a new laptop?

Hurm...

My laptop has been getting green pixels and sometimes the screen would freeze and pixels would cover the screen whether it be red, blue, or purple. When I restart my laptop the loading screen is shown then a black screen for about 1 minute followed by the blue screen of death. The repair man said that the CPU and GPU probably are overheating and that I probably need a new computer. Is there anyway to fix this issue without spending a lot of money on a new laptop?
 
Sorry to hear of your situation. Personally when I see computer issues with screens changing colors, my personal diagnosis is a bad motherboard and/or bad CPU. Financially it would be cheaper to buy a new mobo and cpu and replace it. BUT taking apart a laptop can be VERY tricky. I'd contact your manufacturer and ask if what repair cost would be through them. If too expensive your only other alternate is to buy a new computer.
Hope this helps :)

I'm pretty familiar with putting in hardware in a desktop PC but I doubt its the same for laptops. I don't think I'd want to change out Mobo', put in a fan or a new CPU in an old laptop.

Hurm, if I were you, I'd detach the hard drive, get a hard drive cable, get all your data out of it, and then kiss your laptop goodbye.

Your correct... It's a lot harder to change out a mobo and/or cpu in a laptop.
