Anyone ever seen this graphics failure?

Every once in a while my T500's screen will get all messed up. It's hard to describe so I'm attaching a picture. It's as though it's broken up into a bunch of 10x10 pixel blocks which start randomly re-arranging themselves. Sometimes it goes away if I switch to a new window. Other times it requires a reboot. I'm trying to determine if this is a hardware problem that requires warranty service, of it's something that can be fixed with driver update or other software fix. Any advice would be appreciated.

Fire up Lenovo System toolbox and run the video diagnostics.

Yikes! Is it still under warranty? If you have a switchable model try setting it to discrete or integrated in bios.
