Funky Dell-on-Dell action

Does anybody know why a Dell 5100MP would project the image of bars shown below and require unplugging/replugging to reset it? It completely locks up and won’t respond to any button pushes on either the remote or on the projector. So far, it’s only happened with Dell Windows XP laptops. Neither Mac nor Dell Linux laptops cause this problem that we’re aware of.

Feel free to hypothesize in the comments.

Update

I just realized that we have indeed have it fail with a Linux laptop (happened to be a Dell, but I'm guessing it's probably irrelevant?). Haven't had the MacBook Pro out there for long enough to have it happen yet, though.
