Most likely the graphics chip has failed, usually due to faulty soldering of the chip itself to the board.
You could try a driver update, but I'd put money on it being a hardware failure.
Take it back to the store you bought it from under warranty.
Current laptops do not suffer from burn-in, so don't worry about that as an issue.
