Vertical lines on screen

I have a Macbook Pro A1261 with Windows XP as the OS. When i turn on the Mac the screen starts bugging out. Different colors start flashing all over the screen. After Windows starts up it settles down but it has vertical lines across the screen. i swapped the screen out and i have the same problem. any help will be greatly be appreciated. Ty.

 

How did you install Windows? Does this happen when you boot into Mac OS-X, or only your Windows install? If only Windows, then bad driver not compatible with your machine, for the Graphics chipset.

You can always take it to the Genius bar at your local Apple Store (not Best Buy Geek Squad, a real Apple Store), and they can take a look at it, to see what is going on.

 

Please stick to one post, the macbook doesn't have osx on it from the other post in the mac sub forum.

 

Are you replying to the OP? If you are replying to me, I really do not have a clue what post you are talking about. If the OP does not have Mac OS-X and has installed Windows on it, the Genius Bar at the Apple Store will still look at the unit, and fix it for them. That is what they are there for.

Their problem is a driver issue with the third party Operating system most likely. Only way to find out, is install Mac Os-X and see if the unit behaves in the same manner.
