Screen went black with white boxes

So I was playing a video game (World of Warcraft) on my Alienware R3 Laptop, when all of a sudden my screen switched to a black screen with white boxes all over. It made a sound when it happened, and then I had to force a shut down. What happened, and what can I do to fix it? It's happened before, but just with a blank black screen before.
