my laptop has red and blue dots and lines. what do i do?

every time i try to play minecraft and its night time in the game, its all red and blue and i cant see a single enemy! its really annoying. So if you have a cure for my computer, please help.
 
Solution
From the sound of things, the cure would be a new laptop, or a motherboard replacement to fix the video chip. Unless this only happens in that one game.

Solution
If it happens all the time, would be a video card issue. The last thing you can try to rule out the screen, is try to run it with an external monitor. If that has the color blocks, it's the video card. That means a new motherboard is needed.
