Tonight I have had the weirdest night. I installed a new 1GB of memory into my Intel Imac, then i saw the news about Xp on the mac so i downloaded the mov file.

Well it went from bad to worse....i was watching the video and decided to fast forward to the good bits, as i started seeking forward with quicktime.....

disaster struck.....

The entire screen went fuzzy, then there was this intense ghosting and everything went a blue hue...

I have taken some screen shots....now i have never seen anything like this ever on a Mac.....whats going on....is it cause i was watching the xp video lol....APPLE why my Imac do this...?

Gulp

It's a known issue that the Intel Macs have problems with their video cards. Maybe yours is one of the troubled ones.

Here's an article.
Here's another from C|Net.
However, Apple claims to have released an update to this problem here.
