Need help identifying a glitchy screen

My friend took one look at a screenshot of what's happening to my screen and said I should go here and ask, so here I am. Starting yesterday, I've started getting occasional strange glitches flashing on my screen. Each time it has happened, it seems to trigger while using skype, making me think it may be the cause.

This is what it looks like when it happens: http://imgur.com/b3Y8uvP

It isn't always that severe, it usually starts as small parts of the screen getting a black checkerboard effect. When it is occurring, it also happens with other things, like as I was typing this post it happened around the edge of the text box and all over the ads on the side.

So would skype be the issue here, or might this be something more serious? I was able to print screen and capture it, so I'm thinking it's not my monitor. Kinda hoping it isn't an issue with my video card or motherboard.

Here is another example that happened as I was typing this, and with skype closed: http://imgur.com/wJddcnQ
