[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1046362, member: 46727"] It appears to be related to a graphics problem. Since the screenshot shows the same thing that your display does, that probably eliminates the display. I believe your machine uses the Intel GMA X3100 integrated GPU. I haven't heard of any problems with that chipset but that doesn't mean yours is OK. If it continues, you may want to consult someone at Apple and have them look at it. If your machine is covered by Apple care, definitely take it on in. Make sure your fan is working and that the machine is not overheating. If you have no warranty left or Apple care and you know what you're doing, you may want to open the machine up and clean it out. Use canned air and blow the dust from around the fan and CPU heat sink. Also clear out the vents. Regards. [/QUOTE]
