GPU issues?

Hmm, but there’s this persistent issue where my screen keeps flickering every few seconds, almost like a glitching heartbeat

I've got this Dell Inspiron running an i5 with 6GB of RAM and an Nvidia GT 730 graphics card...
When I boot the laptop up, the image actually appears, but there isn't a single icon to be found on the desktop. Then, after a little while, the cursor starts jumping all over the place like it has a mind of its own, and eventually, the screen just flickers—it goes pitch black for a few seconds before finally coming back. I can't help but wonder if the graphics card has finally kicked the bucket, or if we're looking at a faulty display panel or perhaps a loose internal ribbon cable?
I can upload a video of the behavior later if that helps!
