It was probally a problem with windows but definitatly a software problem. Luckily for you it came back when you restarted. A similar incident happened to a friend of mine but it wouldn't come back. As I didn't know how the fix after a few hours of troubleshooting the hardware and software, we decided to just reformat the computer. He hasn't had the problem since...
