It typically happens upon scrolling. I suspect something's messed up about the drivers.
The blue screen message would probably explain what the issue is, but it is pretty long and vanishes within half a second.

It seems however to have good skilled players(when you can actually find someone to play melee with), and the super awesome anti hack system.
Mmm, I see.
Truth be told, I don't think I've run into hackers particularly often on the regular BNet either (one occassion where I know of it, who were using a disconnect hack, and a few cases where I suspected a map hack, but that still amounts to just a couple of games amongst hundreds).
Reminder: Tomorrow is our next melee session. Hope to see you all there.

Hey, why is nobody online? Where are you all?

If you want to extend the amount of time for the BSOD, so you can read what it says (since its on Windows XP):
Go to Control Panel
System Properties
Advanced Tab
Startup and Recovery (Settings button)
Uncheck the "Automatically Restart" box under system failure
Now the computer won't restart automatically after a bluescreen, so you can read through the message. I wish you luck on understanding the message though...it can be rather confusing.
Re: GitP WarCraft 3: The Frozen Throne group (thread II)
Huh. Now here's something new to me. Is that a Windows XP invention? Because I never ran into that before...
Reminder: Tomorrow is our next custom map session. I hope to see you there.

And reminder: Tomorrow is our next melee session.
I will be there, unless my parents (who are coming over to visit me) decide to stay until Monday (which they very well might do).

And something I have known for a while. I really DO do better in long games
Game Length Games Wins Losses Win % Total Xp Avg. Xp
0 to 10 Minutes 20 9 10 45.00 % 1,950 98
10 to 20 Minutes 43 12 31 27.90 % 5,173 120
20 to 30 Minutes 18 10 8 55.60 % 1,049 58
30 to 40 Minutes 9 9 0 100.00 % 1,303 145
40 to 50 Minutes 2 1 1 50.00 % 391 196
Heh... that's quite different from me.
I do best in mid-length games. While I have wins for any length, my optimum lies in that 10-20 minute range.

In the desert
I saw a creature, naked, bestial,
Who, squatting upon the ground,
Held his heart in his hands,
And ate of it.
I said, "Is it good, friend?"
"It is bitter - bitter", he answered,
"But I like it
Because it is bitter,
And because it is my heart."
Though, trying the new guy (Sands of Time) out in singleplayer, he looks really, really powerful. Obviously I can't accurately judge from fighting creeps, but he's doing tons of AoE damage for not all that much mana. And his main debuff is Blind which can nearly debilitate certain heroes by itself...
