My computer: Dell Inspiron N7010
OS: Windows 7 x64 Home Premium
So this happens randomly while I'm working. The screen just freezes and weird black or multicolored squares appear, after a while the entire screen sub divides into a normal display and into colorful squares, the computer still doesn't repsond. A while after that the monitor just shuts off. See the below images for a better description.

Usually when I restart it returns to normal only to happen again. But now it just glitches out at the dell logo and the screen shuts down. (No image for this one). If it does successfully start up, windows reports that it was a Blue Screen of death. What is causing the problem and how can it be fixed? Does it have to do with the computer's graphics card or drivers?
