At this point I have no idea what to do.
That the problem persisted over a *reinstall* suggests strongly that it's hardware (unless it started as a glitched Config file and *became* a misconfigured one after the reinstall, which isn't completely beyond the pale...) It's possible, I suppose, that you got lucky with a glitch on the hardware from the turn-off -- especially if the powersupply was more than usually loaded because things were running when you shut it off. You don't mention whether you see any problems under Windows... Is there any chance at all you saved a Config and a log from before the reformat for comparison purposes? Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
