brown screen of semi-death?

Anyone ever get the brown screen of semi-death?

Screen goes completely brown, but system remains alive.  Must hit
ctrl/alt/del to bring up task manager, clicking on task manager
brings back task bar at bottom, rest of screen stays brown, can
then resume open applications, but to get back to task bar,
must again bring up task manager and click on it.  System is normal
on restart.

Problem is intermittant.  Seems to occur when working with folder
settings.  Extra folder icon is created on task bar but left or
right clicking on it just makes task bar go away.

Any ideas?

Thx
Randy
