After more than a year 
passed, my mbp started to behave as if something is wrong with a video card. When I browse some websites, text becomes scrambled and the only "cure" seems restart (mbp is always in sleep mode too, when I don't use it, if it matters). I tried to take some screen captures, but they look as if nothing is wrong. So the only way to capture how it looks is using external camera. So far this happened just 2 times and restart seems stops the problem.
My questions are these- is it a sign of a video card failure and how long I got till it becomes too annoying to use mbp, and how to replicate this result? Can something make this problem worse? I don't play any video games, primary it is a computer for internet, NeoOffice and once in a while I watch a movie on it. My original plan was to keep it for 4 years (so 3 more years to go or not )
Oh yah, and I don't have apple care either.
