I had that same problem. My CPU was (apparently) overheating, and causeing the system to give random BSOD's everywhere. I attached a second fan (from an old power supply) to the case facing the CPU and it never happened again. (This same problem would take a linux system down too). Other than that, I wrote a program once and did some bad pointer logic in it, so somehow the program got a hold of the display buffer. Didn't crash the system per se, but the screen just started doing weird things.
