Funny thing, my computer acted similarly *In windows mind you blah* and if i tapped the monitor it shimmered. This went on for months... woke up last Saturday Morning almost had a heart attack! The computer was Off! I had left it on over night ;p so... why off? Well after 2 hours or so & a lot of cursing *yes i do that alot when computers fuck up*. Ooops... see? Reflex. ;p Anyway turned out my powersupply had died overnight. ;\ Thank god i had a spare computer with a P/S in it I could use. :) Moral of the story: Check the p/s & see if you are getting brownouts too ;p -- Femme Good Decisions You boss Made: "We'll do as you suggest and go with Linux.
