This is a hardware problem indicating an issue with the video chip. Contact
the laptop mftr.'s tech support since you can't fix this yourself.

Malke's probably right, but before you send it out for repair, check your
vents to make sure they aren't clogged with dust, pet hair, etc. If there
are panels over the CPU and GPU areas, remove them and see how much build up
is in there. Using canned air, you can blow it out against the normal air
flow path. Do not tilt the can so liquid is sprayed. Make sure the power
cord and the battery are removed before doing this.

Good luck,
