Hello,
Do you see the Dell logo at all before you start seeing that happening to the video? If so, try going into your System Setup (BIOS) to see whether you see any video distortion there. We're not looking to change any settings for your system, but since the System Setup runs outside of Windows it would help us to determine whether the issue you're seeing is hardware related or a problem with the video driver in Windows. If you see the distortion in System Setup then your video card is going bad.
You can also test the video by hooking your laptop up to an external monitor to see if the video is distorted there as well.
Let me know what you see in System Setup (BIOS) or by attaching your system to an external monitor (FN + F8 to switch to external monitor view). What you see will let us begin to understand what is causing the problem and effect what we try next.
