If you connect it to an external monitor, does the problem also appear on the external display?

Doesn't matter if it's a full HD monitor, it just needs to have an input that your laptop has an output for.
But if the issue just started happening when you updated to a new set of drivers, have you tried going back to the old version or the latest version for the 4xx series which is 301.42?

Thanks for your suggestion. I haven't updated to 301.42 WHQL yet and read some reports that the problem still exists with 301.42. Reverting to older driver is recognized as recommended action but i don't want to use outdated driver and i had video playback problems with 285.62 but NEVER such pink/purple screen with it.
Is it a known issue? Did you get something from screenshots? I don't want to break my gaming rig just for such a silly problem!

Thanks guys, all i'll have to try 301.42 latest WHQL but not sure if it'll be a remedy.
@PILGRIM
Were your symptoms identical to mine that're included as screenshots in my first post? Hey, look, i also published a Youtube video and the pitched pattern was also intermittently vibrating with pink/purple bars:

Is it because of faulty 296.10? Note that it happens very RARELY but it completely pisses me of which is a very annoying problem thati HAVEN'T had on my other computers though they have older Nvidia cards!
Hope you see my screenshots and video and relax me if it's just a driver problem....
Cheers all!
