Hey, I've got a small problem with my laptop screen... it appears to be pixelated somewhat and shows random characters on startup.
I have done a few things to narrow down what the problem could be, but at this time am not sure... I hooked my laptop up to a regular computer monitor, and the problem displays on it as well, so I know it's not the LCD itself. I have also turned down the hardware acceleration in Windows, and the problem persists. I have no backlighting issues at the moment either.
here is a screenshot for reference:

Thanks in advance!
