Killnu same thing happened to me last week. Never figured out what caused it, and it hasn't happened since.

Check your screen resolution and monitor refresh rates.

cheers,

If you get one of those error messages, I find you almost always need to reboot the computer.  Could be during a read/write a file got corrupted and its still loaded in memory.  Sometimes you'll just get a bad memory read and the only way to clear it is to reboot.

I suffered these far too often a few months ago.
If they persist delete your AH cache folder and let AH rebuild it.
In my case a file had obviuosly been damaged during the first freeze, everytime i got near an object that required that file the lockup would reoccur.
