Blue screen of death

I was playing star trek online when suddenly the game locked up and then my monitor got the "no signal" message like the hdmi cord had come unplugged. Then the screen flickered back and forth between the desktop and a black screen with just my pointer visible. The image then went out again completely and my monitor displayed the no signal, then when it came back I got a blue screen of death for half a second. Before I could read the error, it rebooted. Could this be the sign of a failing video card? or something else? This is the unexpected error popup message microsoft gave me upon booting back in.

Well I updated the video drivers to the latest just to be safe. Ran a full intensive virus scan with avast and malwarebytes with the latest updates and definitions and everything turned up clean. Honestly, other than that one time I've been gaming without a hitch for for hours all week until tonight when I encountered the issue with the same game. (STO) I don't know if that's a coincidence or not. One difference though was that when the screen did the flipping around to all black/all white it managed to "recover" on the first try instead of restarting on me.
 
According to my experience with Blue screen :
It would be -
1. Driver problem (so update drivers)
2. HDD issue i.e. bad sectors/failing hdd (so check HDD health with HDD sentinel)
3. RAM issue (do mem test on each RAM chips 1 after the other)

If Windows is not booting up, then It might be HDD or RAM issue, you will have to go into DOS mode to check those issues.

Your remark suggests another possibility. Check the internal video settings of the game itself. This type of problem once seemed to have caused an instability for me. Even so and usually, this would only lead to a blank screen and "out of range" message, from which you might recover in the same windows session.
