Seems fine now.. any ideas what the [censored] happened?

Sounds like a powersupply going out. Not enough power to the video card makes things look funky. It happened to me when I had a 9800pro. What kind of psu do you have? mobo, and video card?
Specs are here.
It might be, although I've only had this system for like, 8 months or so. It's never happened before and I only had one window open when it happened so...

Anychance you can find another psu to try? Might first guess is the psu. If its hardware. It could be a corrupted driver due to spyware or virus?? Maybe. Thats only things I can think of. Sorry I cant be more help. Has it only happened 1 time?
Well it only happened once so it would be kind of hard to know if the other PSU fixed things or not.Rustedimpala said:Anychance you can find another psu to try? Might first guess is the psu.
