Ummm... can anyone explain this screen to me?


yesterday browsing web, , froze, , screen displayed strange mosaic pattern on top of else. see screenshot 1.

suspecting plugged in hawking hwug1a usb wlan stick, unplugged , restarted macbook pro (held down power button), , during startup froze again – screenshot 2.

after second restart ok again, seemed mac os x reset something, startup took little longer usual. then, 30 minutes later, same thing happened – froze , needed 2 restarts.

i've stopped using wlan adapter , haven't experienced problem again yet...

know is? in world cause system display such strange patterns? can usb adapter corrupt display driver??? :confused:

(btw, lcd received shock long time ago, that's reason crack on top right corner , malfunctioning black pixels running around edge of lcd, has nothing mosaic patterns :)
