Distorted Display (please help)

[color=#000000]Hello,[/color]

[color=#000000]I have a Fujitsu N3010 notebook (2.8 GHz, 40 GB hard drive, 256 MB, Radeon Mobility 9000 64mb, Windows XP Pro). I’ve been having a really bad problem lately with my screen display. While surfing the net the other day the screen suddenly turned garbled and distorted on me. The pixels became blocky and sorted in horizontal rectangular blocks all through the screen. The resolution of the screen however did not change size. I rebooted the computer and everything was fine until it happened again a few days later. This time the reboot did not work. The Fujitsu start-up logo was even garbled up during start-up. I tried reinstalling the new Omega drivers and this time while the desktop was still distorted each new window I would open was not. Slowly the desktop came back to normal. Now the computer randomly goes back to the distorted display and after several reboots sometimes becomes clear again. If anybody could help me I’d greatly appreciate it. Thanks a lot.[/color]

Sorry, your M9 chip is probbably broken, same thing happened to my Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo... You'll need service. I was lucky for my problem was covered by warranty...

It only seems to be getting worse. While the screen seems to be running a bit better, clearing now when I restart the laptop, it's now freezing when I restart it out of stand-by mode and when I disconnect it from the AC cord. That's life with computers I suppose; running perfectly one moment then faulty the next. I guess I have no choice but to have it looked at. Thanks for your help.
