i would think it's an over-heating problem...i think i got the same problem as you and i'm running on a Radeon 9500 Pro....and while playing a short while, the screen just goes berserk, giving me squares and lines and yeah....then when i alt+tab it's just lines on the desktop and no screwy squares.

so i cleaned my card up along with the rest of the PC while i was at it and it hasn't screwed since then....yet...so it might be that the inside is dusty and it's not cooling down properly....or if i'm wrong...i have no idea what it might be.
