I've been running bootcamp for a while and today i was playing a game when the screen got distorted and the computer crashed. This has happened a few times before but I've always been able to restart and fix the problem. Now when I try to boot the computer up i hear the startup sound every 2 seconds and nothing appears on the screen except once in a while some white flashes and random pixels. Anyone know what could be going on here?

I gave it a few minutes and now it is starting up again. Everything is okay once it is done booting up, but while it is booting up there are a lot of pixels going crazy. This occurs when I start up under Windows and OS X.

Edit: Looks like I spoke too soon. When I loaded up the game it freaked out again and I'm back at square one. This is really weird.
