Try: · using it in text mode; . using the nomodeset kernel parameter; · using vesa, radeonhd and radeon drivers; · using “nodri” in your xorg.conf file; · trying various graphical screensavers, since they exercise the video drivers the most. It’s still possible that it could be hardware problems: Linux (obviously) puts different things in different memory addresses, and Windows might well put something in a faulty memory location that doesn’t lead to noticeable problems. So a memtest86 might be in order, too.
