Well, it's been a week now and no more video problems. Looks like pulling the video card, vacuuming out the slot, wiping down the connectors on the card, and putting it back in was all that was necessary to fix the problem. I guess a little dust somehow got in there and caused a bad connection. Hard to believe that's all it took to fix it.
If you really think about it, it shouldn't be hard to believe. The main components inside a PC are covered with tiny components crowded closely together. It shouldn't take much imagination to see a spec of litter landing in exactly some wrong place so as to bleed off a signal from one component to some other. Unless you have the PC in a clean room, or its air inputs filtered, or are using entirely passive cooling, it's constantly pumping dust through. Given enough time, something will eventually land in a bad place. -- "The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and I am helped." Psalm 28:7 NIV Team OS/2 ** Reg.
