Since it's a laptop I think the video graphic unit might be over heating. You might want to try out a laptop cooler, with a built in fan. See if that takes care of it.

It could also mean that your cables aren't hooked up correctly, or maybe one of the cables are loose.

Well, it could be one of these things:

1. The graphics card is failing
2. It's overheating
3. The wires have become defective

You need to check out if it's overheating first, so get a laptop cooler, if that doesn't solve the problem, take the laptop in to a repair shop. It must be a hardware issue then.

Definitely an overheating issue there. No question. Laptops are warm to begin with.
