    The first thing I'd do is to reinstall your GPU driver. If that doesn't help, try connection your laptop to an external monitor or HDTV. If the problem doesn't occur via an external monitor, they it's most likely an issue with your inverter board and you'll need to replace it. If the issue still persists on an external monitor, it's more likely a faulty GPU.
