So I have no idea what just happend to my computer but when I was on a skype call, I opened Safari and went on Facebook and all of a sudden things got out of control. My skype call started appearing on Facebook and Facebook on my skype call and then my desktop went white when I tried to click on things and all my windows were appearing on top of one another. It lasted for about 5 minutes and then skype disconnected so I shut down my computer. It seems fine now...
Attached are some pictures.

Just an idea, not sure what happened just hoping to help, but it could have been that your graphics card had been over worked. Maybe it had been too hot or over used.
 
Looks like a software issue to me. If it was related to your hardware, you would have seen more random and static-like artefacts. If it happens again, consider an OS reinstall.
