It doesn't do it often, generally only when I have multiple programs running.

That card shares system memory. How resource heavy are the "multiple applications?" You on Vista or XP? How much memory? Possibly, if the laptop has some miles on it and you have a bajillion things running, AND time has become to effect the accepted thermal envelope of the internals (that and fart dust) you could have some components being pushed..causing some voltage irregularities at the controller or thing-a-mo-bobby.

How reproducible (the problem) is it?
