Default Computer Peeps...question

I had a weird occurance a few minutes ago. I was watching a recorded tv show in Media Center. Near the end of the clip, the monitor went completely black. I turned it off and on, nothing showed. However, I could see the monitor menu and settings when I pressed the buttons. I ended up shutting off my power supply to turn the computer off, then turned it back on and booted up...everything works fine. Any ideas as to what the problem was?

unless it starts happening on a regular basis, i'd just let it go as something "windows related" :loco:
