I was having problems with that when I first got this new laptop, I ended up doing a Bios flash, and also getting the newest drivers, but If it just started doing it and you were fine before, I don't know. I've also never had that problem until I upgraded to Windows 7.
Once in a while, I get that error when I just start up the game and the full/windowed screen mode starts, I just close the game and restart fixes it. If you find a fix be sure to post it :)
