Win NT 4 Server crash...

My Win NT 4 (SP4) did a really weird crash the other day. It did a BSOD, but the screen was corrupted by lots of randomly spaces flashing colourd ASCI symobls. Very weird. Is this just a one off thing, or do you think I have a real problem?
 
Hmmmm ... yes the flashing colored blocks syndrome ... Whenever I've seen this it was caused by the following:
1. video card fried
2. ram fried

'rotsa 'ruck
 
or of course you could have just had a power surge / brownout

if it has worked well since that is probably it

what did the eventvwr say?

 
That was the strage thing. The event manager didn't say anything of use, just that on bootup the server didn't shutdown gracefully. I couldn't really see what the BSOD was saying because of the screen corruption, and was trying to fix it fast.
