Blank red screen

Hi, I have an Inspiron 6000 (use Windows XP), and it all of a sudden went to a blank, or solid, red screen last night out of nowhwere - I was on a Web site, like yahoo or something, nothing out of the ordinary, although I did have 2 or 3 browsers open at once (Firefox).  Has never happened before; had to reboot to get it to function again - luckily that worked, at least this time.  Any ideas out there?  Thanks!

    If it only happened one time I wouldn't be too concerned.  If it happens again then I would suspect a hardware problem except if it always happens on one particular web site.

    Laptops have a history of overheating and that could also have been what caused the problem.
