Crashing rainbow colors does not sound good.  Before I suggest one obvious and serious possibility -- overheating -- let's explore a bit.  What viewer are you using?  What sort of computer?

Hi i used to have this happens to me with my old laptop due to poor graphic card capability

OK....  Here are a couple of things to try.  First, open Preferences >> Graphics, and click on the Hardware Options button (or whatever it's called in your viewer.  The name varies from one viewer to another, but the function is there.)  You'll see two settings worth changing.  One is Enable OpenGL Vertex Buffer Objects (VBO).  Try turning it OFF.  The other is Use HTTP Textures. Try turning it OFF too.  (In LL's V2 viewer, this option is not in Preferences.  Look for it in the Develop menu (CTRL+Alt + Q) >> HTTP Textures ).  

You don't necessarily need to turn both of those settings off.  Try one at a time.  Log out of SL and then relog when you make a change. The way your own system handles VBO and HTTP textures may be very different from the way someone else's does, so these changes might make a great diference and solve your problem --- or they might do nothing at all.  It can't hurt to try, though.

If these don't work --- then I really am afraid of the possibility that your laptop is overheating.  It's a chronic problem with laptops in SL.  Do everything you can to get good air circulation around and under it, and try using a can or air to blow dust out of it.

Good luck.
