    Hmm,yesterday it happen to me once again..After playing dota a while, i tend to Alt+tab to desktop.after doing that, my pc freezes..So i was wondering is the picture attached is actually artifacts cause by the gpu or it's the game problem. I notice this only happens after alt+tab too many times and it only happens on Dota (warcraft III map) Thanks in advance for helping to solve this problem >.<

    driver crach
    run some tests for stability to see what hapends
    it can be overheated gpu (if you never cleaned it)

    I know that the Source engine of Valve has problems if you Atl-Tab too much and its a bug in the engine. Maybe WarCraft has a similar problem as well?
