I ran a NewerTech G3/240 in my 6116 for a year or so with no ill effects. O.S. 9.1 and 128MB RAM. If that RAM is an issue, try another type. Green? How secure is the connection between the monitor and the video card? Using a videocard in the angle slot? Is it tightly fastened? Jeff -- 1st-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
