After a while in bootcamp, my imac starts to display weird colors, and the screen starts flickering. So far I haven't experienced this in OS X, so this seems to be a Bootcamp-only issue.

A short video of this problem

If it may help; my imac is a 2,4Ghz, 24", and it has Leopard running on it.

Any suggestions?

Possibly a GPU thermal issue. If you push things really hard in OS X does anything like that happen?

I have this computer for over a month now, and it never happened in OS X...

I hope it is not a heat issue though, as it's currently autumn here, and pretty cold. If it is, this would pose major problems during the summer months

Edit - Just had it again, and the computer was quite cold, so I guess this can't be a heat issue
