    Hi there, my graphics have been distorting as of late, it started about 2 months ago and has been happening on and off, the load doesnt matter as it does the same thing either playing a game or just using base programs. i'm thinking its the graphics card but am unsure. im not to tech savvy so any input is appreciated. the load temps are high with the gtx260M as they have reached 93 C but they idle around 70 C. i have posted some links with videos i captured of the problem off my cell phone. also i have the updated 1704 bios, and nvidia drivers.

    That looks nasty, do you get it on an external monitor too?

    If you do, it could be a failing GPU. If not, it could be a problem with the display cable.
