Edit: Laptop DVD ROM Problems

I have an HP dv9910us. I think I'm having problems with the DVD drive. When I play DVDs the screen will go nuts after about 20-30 min. of run time. Sometimes the screen will just freeze, sometimes a strip down the middle of the screen will just go crazy, like it melted.

It happens regardless of what DVD I play new or old. The driver is a TSST corp. CDDVDW TS-L632N ATA. It is also a lightscribe, if that makes a difference. No problems if I an using the laptop for any other purposes.

So, my questions are:

Is this a common problem with this DVD device?
Is the problem with the laptop?
Should I be taking this thing in for a warranty repair/trade/upgrade?

TIA for all help and suggestions. I need to get this problem fixed before school starts back up in two weeks.
