How do I get rid of a frequently occurring blue screen on my MacBook Pro Retina?

Question

Even as I type this question, a blue screen is frequently popping up for a good 5-10 seconds. It happens when I start up this computer, when I adjust the screen in order to get a view, or when I move the computer. Nothing appears to be disrupted other than the screen itself, for I can type even when the blue screen is flashing. My computer is a 15-inch MacBook Pro Retina, and I've had is since September. Other than this, I've encountered no problems. Any help would be apprecitated, and I hope I'm not the only one who has encountered this problem.

Hello,
It may be partially related to the discussion, but it appears that my imac (2013, intel, OS X 10.8.5) has misbehaved in a very similar manner. Here is a brief account in case it could help in some way:
- perfect performance until today, when I tried to connect and external vga monitor;
- imac does not detect the monitor, connected via a Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter;
- monitor works flawlessly, when connected to a dell laptop as an external display;
- imac conects perfectly via the Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter to the d-sub port of a smart tv;
When the monitor is connected to the imac occasionally imac displays blank blue screen intermittently at random instants lasting about a second or so, once a few seconds. When the monitor is turned off the problem disappears.
I am unable to find out why the imac would not detect the external display and the intermittent blue screen when the external monitor is on is even more baffling.
