Freezing and Pixel issue
So a few days back when I was running a game (l4d2) my pc froze up the sound went a bit weird and I started to get this strange Pixel like effect across both my screens. I had to kill the book and reboot but even in the boot sequence it was still doing it a bit and happened again after a few mins. It kept doing this until I went into safe mode and every thing was ok. I then installed the latest driver and everything has been fine since.
Anyway I was playing Starcraft 2 today and it happened again. How ever after going back into safe mode and then just shutting down its been fine again so far.
This image is the best i could find to show what it looks like, but its not quite like that:

I should add that not long after it happens both my screens go into standby mode. I am also unable to move the mouse, ctrl alt delete etc. My GPU is an 8800GT
Anyone know what it could be. Hope its not hardware
Thanks
