Screen issue

My screen randomly does this and becomes unresponsive. I shut it down and restart and sometimes it fixes the issue temporarily but eventually it happens again. Has anyone had this issue before?

MacBook Pro 16″, 11.2

     similar to using First Aid in Disk Utility

     And it deletes some system caches, including font caches and the kernel cache, 

     which will be created again automatically as needed.
