I've got a Dell E6400 It's suddenly developed an intermittent fault with the display

Every now and again, it seems to boot up with "double vision" By that I mean, its split horizontally, with each half showing the same thing, but with low resolution, and looks grainy - if that makes sense (I will try to get a couple of pictures if I can)

I haven't changed any hardware or anything.

I have re-built windows, to see if that fixed the problem, it didn't.

I've upgraded the BIOS to see if that would help, still same problem.

I'm out of ideas :-(
