I got that before in some source games after alt tabbing, but I haven't seen it in quite some time.

Usually this happens when a texture, somewhere, has gone missing. The "default" texture is purple and black checkers, which sometimes reflects on any surface with high enough reflection.
I've seen this happen too many times on garry's mod...
