Restart the computer, is looks like a Video Card problem. If it still happens, you need to get it looked at.

Hi, I have restarted but is there anything i can do to prevent it from happening again?

Hey man. It looks like a hardware prob. Just try and repair the permissions and see if that helps at all...

finder-- applications-- utilities-- disk utility

Then select your HD and repair it.. Hopefully that works for ya. :cool:

Hi Domofloge, thank you! I just finished the repair and I hope that solves it. ;)
