The exact same problem happened to me a couple of weeks ago when I played Lord of the rings online, I went on and suddenly there were artifacts all over the screen. Then suddenly the computer froze and it restarted itself. Back on the desktop everything was fine, but when I tried Battlefield Bad Company 2 I noticed the same damn artifacts there! And it restarted again., but this time there were artifact on the log in screen as well :/ And i knew my graphics card was broken :( I don't know if it was the heat or that the graphics card (asus 2900xt) was 3 years old and had taken its last breath. Anyway, Ive got a 5770 now :D hell of a lot better! But freezez can occur, it happened to me a couple of times in bfbc 2.. dunno how bad it is in your case but i hope it doesnt happen again.
