    It's either going to be the monitor, or the video card (or drivers).

    To check the monitor, use another one if you can. If it's the video card, most likely that effect can also be seen during startup.

    First thing you may want to do is uninstall the drivers and then reinstall.

    if you had another monitor hooked up to it and it eventually did the same thing, it sounds like a video card issue. there is the outside chance of it being a virus, but I doubt it.

    and you have tried plugging in an extra monitor into the laptop and hit on the "fn" and "f10" button to view through an external monitor?
