    It might be helpful if you indicated the EXACT model/year of your MBP and the OSX.

     

    The image suggests a hardware problem, the GPU being the prime suspect.  If you can attach it to a monitor, you might be able to get a better idea where the problem lies.  Duplicate image on the monitor indicates a GPU problem.  Good image on the monitor suggests a display or display connection problem.  A definitive answer can be obtained at an Apple store genius bar.  The evaluation will be FREE.
