- I had the same problem with mine. Not only would it jump into the
- monitor often (even when the computer was just sitting there doing
- nothing), it would sometimes go into a frenzy, just printing random
- junk on the screen, characters, control codes, etc, as if I had loaded
- a ml program as basic and tried to list it, except it would keep going
- until I hit the reset button (holding down the c= key to go into the
- monitor). Turned out that the power supply was putting out the right
- voltage, but was about 200 mw low on power. A new power supply made
- this strange and unpleasant problem go away.
