While playing, my screen freezed. Sound was still OK. Then I alt-tabbed to see if there was an error message in an underlying screen, there was not. I alt-tabbed back, and the screen was black, with an FA cursor, that did change (to assist-icon etc.) when apparently moving over stuff (i could move the cursor).
I have had this once before, 2 days ago. Then I could open chat and type stuff (in the blind), which, I later saw in the replay, was there and seen by my opponent. This time I may have pressed Enter twice, did not know if I was in chat window, so no chat this time.
I played 8 games in between without any problem.
Nothing special to see in the event viewer.
Windows 8.1 64 bits
Core i5 3350P
AMD/ATI Radeon HD 7850
Graphics driver version 13.251.0.0
The graphics driver was updated on 19/1. I'm afraid that that is the culprit. It is the latest version available.
First screen freeze at 21/1.
I deleted C:\ProgramData\FAForever afterwards at 21/1, so fresh automatic install in that directory.
After that played 8 games without problem.
Second screen freeze today at 23/1.
Replay numbers of problematic games (replays don't replicate problem):
1784234 - Waters of ISIS R001
1777464 - Fields of Thunder V2

Is the display driver indeed the problem?
I have done a rollback of the display driver to the previous version now, 13.152.1.8000. Let's hope that that solves it...
