I was going to say that you shouldn't talk down to your customers, but I decided against it.A quick survey of the office produced the following reasons, some of which may be sensible:

A high caffeine overdose kicks if you take 150 mg per kilo. For an average man, that's about 11 grams or approx. 11250 mg. That's about one-2 espressos per kg for everyone who wants to make a mental note.
However, to begin experiencing 'Caffeine Intoxication' only takes about 250 mg.
Symptoms include:
-Restlessness
-Nervousness
-Excitement
-Insomnia
-Flushed face
-Diuresis
-Gastrointestinal disturbance
-Muscle twitching
-Rambling flow of thought and speech
-Tachycardia or cardiac arrhythmia
-Periods of inexhaustibility
-Psychomotor agitation
However, if you do ingest the overdose amount, you may begin suffering form caffeine poisoning. This is not good. You could die.
Death by caffeine overdose is rare and has not been observed often. However, scientists theorize that it is likely to be similiar to truckers dying from too many stay-awake pills. That is, your heart ends up exploding or massive organ failure or brain death or any combination of the preceding. Your blood vessels would constrict from the effects of caffeine meaning cold and numb limbs, uncontrollable tremors and muscle spasms would take control as your brain died or all your organs fail.
Basically, it's not a pleasant way to die.

Anyways, that being said, reinstalling's a good idea, reinstall direct X too. You may want to reinstall your video drivers as well.
I would bet on it being the resolution or refresh rate. I wish RTW let you fiddle with the refresh rates, but as it is since you cannot access this option it can be difficult to find the best res. I have a 19" monitor, but for some reason I experienced this problem with battle res's over 1280x960.

I had streaky/flickery screen in RTW once or thrice.
Fix with resting computer 5 minutes in off mode and staying off maté.
