Might be your video card overheating...and I use the term 'might' lightly. Happend to me when I'd play games. Just playing then BAM it's like the screen resets itself. Put in a new fan never had the problem again...

it happens on specific parts of maps on fps games, like in DoD on avalanche, there is this one spot near the axis spawn where it does it, and there is this one in counterstrike where it is all blueish light, and it turns off
