my best guess would be a very slightly marginal power supply. the monitor will draw a little more with an image (and deflection which stops when there is no signal) and obviously disconnecting the hardrive makes a little more power available. the blue screen, in os x would be a crash basically, which a power shortage could easily do. that's my best wild-*ssed-scientific-guess. i'd love to know how it turns out. if it is the power supply it will probably get worse, so back that puppy up now.
