I have disabled sleep and that seems to have solved the problem. I think
the video card may be going. Care to recommend a good video card? Thanks
so much for your interest and help.
What's the current card that's in there? According to Mactracker, its a
Rage 128 or 128 Pro. You should be able to confirm that through the
system profiler.
