it looks like this, the distorted pixels are in the left and right corner
another sample:
it happens again and again, no other sideffects yet.
what to do should i run to a apple dealer and get my board switched,
i know this effect from former slowly and painful dying GPU's
regards
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.5.5)
nope, the pixels are physically ok
a) i can make a screenshot of the defective pixels
b) i can move the windows and the error in the window
it must be something different
If you have Apple Care call them. If not and you want a "do-it-yourself" fix, do a Google search, see Youtube's "How to" video tutorials and Do-It-Yourself Laptop Repair. Otherwise, take the computer to an Apple store or an AASP. Whichever is more convenient for you.
Mac OS X (10.5.5)
If you do not want to upgrade to Snow Leopard or Lion, you should at least udate Leopard. Use Software Update to update your os and anything else that needs to be updated showing up in SU which I know must be a whole lot of stuff!!!!
Sorry my fault it's 10.6.8 installed.
But i will call the support this bug doesn't feel very well.
if any knows something about it please post i am still interested.
thx
As it turned out the Motherboard was defect.
i let them change it on 06.2012
funny thing is the new board just died again yesterday.
i got the second board just replaced throu a third one. Everything works fine now again.
the problem is in some way connected with the ones reportet here:

many people having a ** GPU Debug Info Start ** in their logs when the problems occure. When i replaced the first board 06.2012 i didn't found any ** GPU Debug Info Start ** messages in the log, the system also was freezing and glitching in another way.
also this bug is hardware related and only fixable by replacing the logicboard eg. the gpu onboard.
hope this helps
I have pixel distortion in my window bar
