Try turning off the laptop, plugging in an external monitor, turning on the monitor and then turning on the laptop. Once you are all on, and it is using the external monitors screen, see if the same problem occurs.

If it doesn't, then your laptops display may well be going. If it does still occur on the external monitor, then I would suggest updating your drivers. If that doesn't work, you may need to replace the graphics card.
