    You said the problem also occurs with an external monitor? In that case it's most likely a failing or overheating GPU. Is the fan running hard when this happens? If you're lucky, you may just need to clean out the vents. There's a program that can monitor the internal temperatures of your notebook called HWMonitor; go ahead and download it, and post screenshots of HWMonitor both before and after the graphics glitch occurs, if you could.
