There have been a few maps (mostly in the AC server, but a few elsewhere) where there is a pretty horrible flickering - not the usual Z fighting issue where map designers badly place objects, but where the display appears not be rendered at all.  Leave it long enough and the nVidia driver will crash and then restart

The odd thing is that ALT+TAB into Windows 7 and then back again fixes the problem - the only thing I can think of is that memory from the previous map wasn't totally cleared causing some corruption somewhere, and ALT+TABbing, as we all know, destroys all surfaces, forcing all graphics to be re-loaded.

Sounds like a bad nvidia driver.   Over the past 15 years I have ran into that same situation.  Sometimes they fix it other times they break it.  It doesn't matter what nvidia card you have.     Also does it on my current ATI card but not nearly as bad.

Yes, quite possible.  It's also possible there is a rendering/loading bug that causes it.

Fortunately it is a rare occurrence.
