right, I was watching a movie, when all of a sudden my screen went white - sound was still playing but the pc was unresponsive (couldn't pause). rebooting solved this "for now". what could be the cause?

using win xp x64, radeon 4870 1gb, core 2 quad

Check windows system error log in the manage console would be 1st place to start. Also getting something like memtest to test your ram would be good.
