I think from what you have written that you are getting a popup
window. If so then the next time it happens open a terminal and run
xprop _NET_WM_PID | sed 's/_NET_WM_PID(CARDINAL) = //' | ps `cat`

The mouse cursor should change into a cross. Click in the popup and in
the terminal you should see the process that has opened it.

Also you could have a look in /var/log/syslog when it happens and
there may be a clue there.
