Square pixels on monitor

My monitor became pixelated with squares all over when I was in the middle of working. I restarted multiple times and this is what it looks like. Can this be fixed?

It has a hardware issue, contact an Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider and make a service appointment.

Seeing the word “monitor”...


Please Clarify:

Is this an iMac screen? Or is it an external monitor (Apple Cinema Display)?


If it is an external monitor (Apple Cinema Display?):

What happens when you plug this into another Mac? Does this still occur? If not, if probably the iMac itself.
