Have you checked your screen saver? Is it set to random?
Yes, some of those screensavers effectively cause a DoS of the system. The simple one which just moves some text across the screen has unfortunately been removed in favour of much fancier cr*p. Make sure it's not set to "random" if you keep your computer busy while you're away from it. The screensaver test function works well.
Hi Volker, well, I enjoy the "random" setting. None of the screensavers cause any problems on any of my systems. Some look a little weird, ok, but if I don't like them, with a little move of the mouse they go away. This way I could see most of the screensavers, which I would never have taken the time to explore otherwise. Some are really nice. We have the choice! Regards, Matt
