My laptop's corner looks like a bar code? Urgent!

[NeonPop02]

The upper left hand corner is white with rainbow stripes on it. At the edges is a black splodge. I don't know how to explain it. Looks like the colour has gone! This morning, I picked my laptop up and heard something move inside. I thought nothing of it so turned it on. It took ages to load so I left the room to get something to eat. When it finally came on, there was a strip of white with rainbow stripes on it and at the end was a transparent black splodge. I went out to play for about three hours. I came back in, turned my laptop on and the bar code thingy filled the entire corner! Is my laptop broken forever or can it be fixed? Help me! URGENT!!!

your graphics processor could be malfunctioning. How old is your laptop?
