3Sounds like bad hardware, it should be covered under warranty if less than a year old, please have it repaired as soon as possible.– ishJul 3, 2012 at 6:16

Is is typical graphics chip overheating sympthom. It is hardware-related. You should check cooling system, clean it and apply new thermal grease. Take it to the service professional if you do not know how to disassemble your laptop.
