Occasionally my macbook pro (15-inch, Early 2011 with mountain lion 10.8.2) displays random garbled blocks. This happens on external Apple displays and the laptop display. See photo.

  • Are you using gfxCardStatus by Cody Krieger? (If yes, update to the latest version.)

  • This problem continued to persist. I had to get the logic board replaced to fix this issue Commented Jan 23, 2014 at 20:36

We had a lot of these problems in our store and in the most cases the graphic card was broken. You should run the Apple Hardware Test / Apple Diagnostics and look at the results.

  • I've had the same thing on two machines. The graphics card was bad and Apple replaced it under warranty. In one case, twice in about 5 weeks.
