Scrambled screen on boot

I'm not sure what the correct forum to post this in is, as I don't understand what is causing the problem...

When I boot my laptop, or sometimes when I lift the lid and wake it from sleep, I see a strange, scrambled screen.

It looks rather this like this image another person has posted online.

It stays on screen for two or three seconds, then everything changes to the normal Windows 8 splash screen, which I can click on once and then enter in my password to login.

After that, all graphics are perfect. I have no issues, no freezing problems, no trouble running games - nothing. Just this strange, momentary glitch (randomly) when I boot or lift the laptop lid.

I've read in a few places that this can be a sign of GPU fade, which is why I've posted the problem in this forum.

I have a Nvidia GeForce GTX 675M/PCIe/SSE2. I've the Nvidia Control Panel and it's been through several driver updates since this problem first occurred. I've also run the FurMark test, which I've seen suggested elsewhere, and after fifteen minutes stopped it. The GPU at that time was around ~100c.

Any thoughts? Thanks.
