travis, your GPU also drives the external monitor. Since it works at all times, you can rule that out.

If you're able to get display out fine then the issue lies with the LCD panel. Unfortunately you're going to have to replace it. As for the heat though, I would blow out as much dust as you can from the inside while you have it open with canned air, and make sure you get the back vent behind the stand as well.
