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.
