Has anyone experience Mac Book Pro screen went alien green and black?

Hi...I was using my mac when the screen suddenly turned alien green and black, I can still use it though (like save the file and so on). It turn alright after you restart the computer, but I'm afraid if something has gone wrong.Does anyone ever experience the same problem? Does anyone know what is wrong with my mac? I start using this computer since November 2008. Cheers!

Update:
I brought it into the Apple Store near my house once. Booted up fine twice. Brought it back, because the green and black vertical lines, and the inversion of colors froze the computer 4 times after the visit. The Apple Genius ran a MacBook Pro NVIDIA graphics card test, which went well until it FAILED one of the tests.
I had the option to have it fixed in the course of a week, but I thought that since it froze only a few times, that I could work through it (I have important final projects coming up), but now it won't start up. I will have to have Apple ship it away to fix it, because they are behind in their repair shop in the store. So, I will be without it for a week.
They said it had something to do with the logic board, which I think is part of the motherboard. So, I am glad I backed up most of my projects' data, as they said they might have to erase data when they fix it.
So, save your files onto external media (HD, flash drive, CDs, DVDs, etc.), and don't let this problem persist; have an Apple Genius check it out, so that you're not in my boat.
I wish you the best in your troubleshooting!

I have a first generation iPad and the screen went completely green on me and locked up. I was able to unlock it, but now there's a green haze all over the screen. Anyone know what the issue could be and how I can get it fixed?

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)

My start up screen (the one with the apple) is lime green and all screens are pink and green. Some parts of screen still have white. It happened suddenly. What is this?

Hey there,
Thank you for your question. It sounds like you are seeing some graphical issues when you boot your iPad at the Apple logo. I had a couple of recomendations for you to try. First, reset your iPad:
Reset
You should reset your device as a last resort and only if you can't restart it.
To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
From: Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

You can also try backing up the phone to iTunes and then restoring from that backup as well with this article to help determine if the issue is software or hardware related:

My ipad screen turned green and pink

my ipad screen turd green and pink help me plssssss.
i restart my ipad2 it dosen't work

Hey jedivan27,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are having display issues with your iPad 2 and you have already attempted to restart it. To completely isolate the issue, let's try resetting your device as well:
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
If the issue persists after a reset, let’s see if we can isolate to software or hardware by backing up and restoring your device as new:
iOS: How to back up your data and set up your device as a new device
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
After erasing and setting up as a new device, your device is now in a factory configuration. Test to determine if erasing and setting up as a new device resolved the issue. Content on the device may have caused unexpected behavior.
If the issue is still present, you may want to contact Apple Support.
Thanks,

Boot from your installer disc. If the problem is still present, then take it in for service.

Pixelated Screen - shimmering green and pink

I posted this over in the display forum but im not getting much help over there. thought i would post here and get a bigger crowd.
anyways, on my ibook, the screen is very pixelated. it reminds me of when you put a video card in a pc and there are no drivers installed for it. there is a shimmering green and pink effect all over the screen. mostly in the shadows though.
i have already tried to adjust the resolution and colors. nothing changes the way it looks. current setting is at 1024x768 with millions of colors selected.
i took a screen shot and transferred it to my pc and opened it in Photoshop. The screen shot looks flawless and none of the above symptoms are there.
so is the LCD bad? maybe the inverter?

If you have the external video adapter, as included with the iBook when new, you could check the non-LCD
components to some extent by seeing if you can run an external display; and if the images view correctly,
the internal display has secondary issues that can be further troubleshooted by you or a tech.
There are some software utilities out there which may work to help use an external display; but I don't use
them and so can't recommend them. A few were not supported officially, but people used them in iBooks.

My IMAC screen went to sleep and I have it set to enter a password upon waking it up. However, my bluetooth keyboard died while it was asleep and I replaced the batteries and tried to enter my password and it is not picking up my keyboard. What can I do? I will not let me enter my password to get in and trouble shoot the keyboard. Please Help!!

I pushed in the button on the top right corner. It turns a green light on and then it goes off. I held it in until it started blinking. It blinks for a bit and then the green light turns off. I am still not able to type my password. What should I do now?

Image Manipulation is making green and pink thumbnails

Videos Showing Green and Pink (Preview and Export)

I've imported a series of MTS videos. In the timeline - the color is fine. In the Source/Program monitors, they get a weird green and pink overlay. Any thoughts?

When I converted with Media Encoder to MP4, it still happened.
After reading all the posts, here's what I did: emptied the Media Cache in
PP, then downloaded PP '14
It went away, for whatever reason
