It appeared temperature related, but not conclusively. I swapped the graphics card with an almost identical machine and it appears to have solved the problem - on both machines. The machine which now has the suspect card runs at a lower resolution and slower scan rates, so I am guessing it is thermal stress on the graphics card. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
