Any chance the cooling system needs cleaning?
Are you using a display manager (login greeter) to launch?
There are two DDX drivers applicable to your (>9 years old) Sandy Bridge IGP:
intel
modesetting
If xserver-xorg-video-intel is installed, typically its provided intel DDX will be
employed. Without it, normally modesetting will be employed, a component of the
server .deb, and the upstream default. xserver-xorg-video-intel is informally
deprecated, getting mostly only bug fixes for the past 7 years, and no official
release since then. A look through /var/log/Xorg.0.log should make it obvious
which is in use, lots of intel(0) strings or lots of modeset(0) strings, but not
both. Sometimes one may find an override specification either in
/etc/X11/xorg.conf or in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/25-intel.conf or other
xorg.conf.d/*conf. Try switching from one DDX to the other.
Which kernel, 5.10.x, or 5.11.x? If the latter, try a 5.10.x if you can, or at
least an older 5.11.x.
In none of this helps:
pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log
and share here the resulting URL. If /var/log/Xorg.0.log is absent, look in
~/.local/share/xorg/ for it.
