Try the fan or look for overheating somewhere. I had similar problems with a box today. Mine was obvious that the CPU fan was dead when I opened the box. Runs fine with a new fan, and the CPU seems to have survived the roasting it got. A faded upper right corner of the monitor got normal again also, so the onboard video chip must have been too warm also. One of the shops I buy from was supplying crummy fans. Replacing them with ball-bearing fans has always been a good step. --- Chuck > -----Original Message----- > From: tclug-list-admin at mn-linux.org > > > The subject says it all. > > I posted one symptom on the TCLUG-DEVEL late last week.
