I have about a 1.5 year old MacBook Pro (15" 2.33 GHz Intel Core2Duo). A few days ago, I was playing a video in Quicktime and the video card/driver went nuts. Ever since I've had little checkerboxes on the screen intermittently. See attached photo. I'm a PC guy till recently. Ive seen things like this happen on a PC and it was bad video memory or a driver issue. I have no basis to troubleshoot this on a Mac. All help appreciated.

So far I have come to the conclusion that this is a heat-related problem. I installed smcFanControl and have the fans running about 3500 rpm. No problem since. Maybe this will help anyone else who runs into this.
