Please help-strange corruption on MacBook display - random green pixels

I have had my MacBook for just over a year. A weeks ago, the display started go weird:

- strange shapes started appearing on the desktop - a fluorescent green (like vertical strips of 5 or 6 pixels in a group), sometimes as a shadow of a previous open window, sometimes just random squares or lines. The blocks of green go if i run my mouse over them with the button pressed down.

-a fluorescent green light sometimes shines around the programme tiles in the dock.

-shadows behind open windows very accentuated and fluorescent green

- sometimes text on web pages and documents look garbled - again this goes if i run my mouse over them, and either go or comes back in a different place.

Some times i can go a few hours without experiences these problems, other times the issue is there on start up.

I ran the quick hardware check, and no problems were reported, a week later i ran the extensive check, and again the system seemed fine.

Any help or suggestions about how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Natasha
