This just happened to me. I’ve been using AE everyday for five years. It’s a bug. Don’t know you’re specific situation… but that exact blue screen just happened to me. Could be video card. Could be cpu. Could be software. Who knows? You would need to spend more time then you have to figure it out.
In my situation, AE CC2014, Mac Pro Late 2013, changing a setting within VC Optical Flares Options Interface resulted in a blue screen like yours. I just restarted AE and was good to go.
Not sure if you did anything wrong within your comp… but if it happened to me with a four layer comp, then it can happen to anybody.

This happened to me with BMCC when I purchased SSD cards that weren’t as fast as was claimed and didn’t realize that the flashing “REC” meant I was dropping tons of frames. Lesson Learned.
I was able to fix the footage using Capture One pro, and processing all of the files as a jpeg sequence. Then, the sequence was uploaded into After Effects as Jpeg Sequence –> Force Alphabetical. Then, I used Twixtor to extend by 30% since roughly 1/3 of frames were missing. The result, as you would guess, was not perfect, but it was passable since each clip was only going to be used for a second or two at a time.
It’s time consuming, as you would expect.
Hope this helps.
