Do you mean that the screen gets covered in a whole mess of pixellated colour? I've got an ATI and been getting that on and off for a while, but the patch seems to have reduced the frequency of the crashes *touch wood*

Recognize that. Major GFXcard glitch when heating up, can be either one of these:
- Card busted, get a replacement in guarantee while you can
- Driver misinstalled. Deinstall the drivers with some special tool for that (http://www.driverheaven.net/showthread.php?t=30199). Reinstall from scratch.

- Change from direct4d to openGL or vice versa.
- GPU overheating. Check if fan is working, if case cooling is correct etcetc
- Installed the card yourself? take it out and put it back in, might help to clean contacts...
