my macbook display goes berserk within a few minutes of turning it on. the display literally scrambles and looks like white noise, like an old black and white movie that's fallen off the reel. i've attached a photo.
this problem happens every time, within 20 minutes of restarting the computer (which gets rid of the problem), when my MB is hooked up to a another monitor. there is no rhyme or reason for the scrambling, and i'm not doing the same action every time. interestingly, while the display on the macbook is scrambled, the computer works, and the second monitor remains clear.
when my MB is on its own, the display scrambling occurs infrequently (once every couple of days, more so lately) but requires a restart to "fix" it.
HELP! i keep losing files and having to reboot by holding down the power button as i can't see program windows to properly close them...
