Alarming monitor problem

Hi.

Yesterday while using my computer, the screen suddenly became weirdly pixelated creating a blur effect on the entire screen. Weird colours also kept popping up everywhere. I tried shutting down and restarting but to no avail, though when i gave the computer a bit of a nudge the problem lessened though there are some problems with the monitor's colour / pixels.

Could anyone tell me in layman's terms what the problem might be and how I might rectify it?

Many thanks in advance.
 
get another monitor and plug it into the computer... and try plugging a computer into the monitor. if you dont have an extra computer, do you have an extra video card? simply test to see if its the video card or the monitor.
 
it's actually a laptop (sony vaio VGN a215Z) - in my ignorance i don't even know what a video card is or where it gets attached to the computer...
