I had exactly same problem but with Windows 7 and 2 screens

Previously provided solution which disables acceleration did not work:

%APPDATA%\Spotify\spotify.exe --disable-accelerated-layers --disable-accelerated-fixed-root-background

For me solution was to force spotify to use integrated graphics adapter instead of nvidia adapter.

Thanks for replying. But how do I force Spotify to use integrated graphics adapter instead of nvidia adapter?

On my laptop there is Nvidia control panel which has Manage 3D settings page.

I selected Spotify and Integrated graphics adapter

NVidia control panel

But I'm not sure if this helps in Windows 8 as I use Windows 7
