This also occurs occasionally on my system since July while playing online. The computer freezes then CtDT and screen resolution appears to drop to 640 X 480.
An error message states that graphics is stuck in an infinite loop, then needs to be rebooted. Events log reports this. Dxdiag reports no issues, and have not had any such issues running other applications.
