    Most likely al-tab effect. Many times in the past the game has graphic glitches when i do that, i wouldn't be too worried about it, it just needs restarting when it happens.

    It will happen more-so on custom maps than the proper maps, but it can make boxes and things go black or even weird colours, sometimes the game will crash, but like i say it should be OK. To check if its your GPU if you are that worried you could run another game or 3dmark? No problem, it looks like it's just the textures messing up when going to desktop and back ingame.
