Sometimes this happens and I'm not sure what triggers it.
How do I prevent this from happening again?

3 possibilities here.

- Overheating
- Driver issue
- Video card failing

First thing to do is open up the system and clean it out. Take the video card out and make sure you get all the dust you can out of it. The make sure your getting good airflow threw the system. Also check you connections.

Next update the drivers to make sure they havn't gown currupt.

If none of that works then replace the card. Or at least borrow a card to see if it still does the same thing.

A list of system specs will help.

How old is the card? Did you build the system, or was it pre-built? What IS the card? If you could divulge the information,
we may be able to help you more efficiently.
