1) What version video driver are you currently running?
2) Do these video issues change behavior (disappear, change color) if you open and close (not fully) the laptop lid or pick up the laptop by one corner?
3) If you attach an HDTV or external monitor, does it also display the video issue?
4) Are these video issues related to GPU temperature? Install HWINFO64 or SpeedFan and configure to LOG CPU and GPU temperatures.
