Display glitch when using boot camp

[Darran]

On several occasions, when I am playing a game or viewing a streaming video via boot camp, I will get a screen in several rainbowish colors, with the display distorted. Has anyone of you encountered such a glitch before? Do you know a fix for it?

I've had something similar when I boot to Windows. Sometimes. It's not consistent. I think I may have a picture of it. Here.
Because it isn't happening all the time I've been unable to figure it out.

It looks similar to that, just in rainbow color.

 

[Help!]

Have you tried different drivers? This could also be from overheating

I did install any different drivers, just the ones Apple provided.

I doubt it is for me since it happens mainly when I start the machine. Even when it's been turned off for "a while". It could be the driver since I am running Win XP x64 on boot camp.

I think I have the same thing happening as you, I had a thread going on this, with no real solutions, click on my name and go to the thread to see if my pictures are similar to your monitor...
I'd really appreciate a solution too

I was getting the exact same thing if I restarted from OSX into Windows via Boot Camp. My solution was to shut down OSX completely, then hit the power button again holding down the option key. Hasn't happened since. I suspect that the driver for the 1900XT under Windows isn't getting time to load properly.
