KDE neon 5.24 flashing screen with colour noise

When I start KDE neon 5.24 from a USB stick on my laptop I see this visual bug.

The screen flashes with random colour noise and the laptop is unusable.

The video can also be viewed in full size on YouTube: https://youtu.be/9WzpOu4hEwA

KDE neon 5.24 flashing screen with colour noise after self check

In the video you first see the last part of the drive check. It says that there are no errors.
The cogwheel spins, the cogwheel stops. And then the screen starts flashing with random colour noise and the laptop is unusable.

The video is also on YouTube in full resolution: https://youtu.be/E3koZWi824g

Since the bug only seemed to occur when I booted into a live system and it didn't do so any more, I thought this bug may could be closed.

My laptop (on which I saw the bug the first time) now runs KDE neon. I saw the exact same bug when I turned off my machine. So it did not hinder me from doing anything, but it still seems to exist somehow.
