Has anything happened to the laptop recently? a drop or a spill of some kind?
Could be the screen or the GPU. Does the problem change with different angles of the display? are your laptop's fans running? the GPU could be overheating too

thanks for the reply
Nothing mentionable happened..
No, the problem doesn't depend on the angle
the problem is still there, if i switch the laptop on after switching it off for an hour.
one thing which is not noticeable in the video is the appearance of random letters in random places on the screen

OK, It was not loose connection. But I figured out how to correct the problem whenever it happens: (1) Somehow login in safe mode (normal booting gives BSoD). (2) Run Prime95 while covering the fan exhaust with a pillow . Wait for CPU to shutdown. Tadaa, the problem is gone.
It's as if something get reset.Till now the problem has only appeared when I play FIFA 12.Any Ideas?
PS: Sorry for "reopening" a closed thread this way (don't know any other).The original thread is here
