I always suffered from graphics bugs...no idea why, the screen would just go crazy. Usually I thought I had to relog to fix this (/vidreset did nothing). I was told a solution by someone a while ago and it works 100% of the time (for me).
If you get a graphics bug (ie, can't see anything, things go down to 1fps etc)...
Ctrl+Alt+Del - go to Task Manager then Processes tab. Once it's loaded up, alt-tab back into game.
Solved. You can alt-tab back out and close Task Manager.
It might not work for all graphics bugs, but I never have any problems myself now. I have no idea why it works, possibly Windows resets its process priorities - who knows.
Try it!
