- I have a 2000HD with a 2091 HD controller and a 2088 bridgeboard.... The story
- is as follows:
- I have been having a LOT of trouble with my 2000 crashing for NO reason
- whatsoever, like in the middle of JR-Comm and other applications. The
- crash is usually preceded with SCRAMBLED LETTERS (i.e. text with extra and
- /or missing pixels). At times, menus are sometimes jumbled up as well, and
- then sometimes the thing will crash IMMEDIATELY AFTER BOOTUP, even before I
- can see the WB screen. I have had crashes in times past, but never this
- many and NEVER with messed up video.
-
- Does anyone have any idea which chip(s) might be bad to cause the above
- symptoms? Has anyone ever had similar troubles? PLEASE help if you can, as I
- am going to be needing my computer very soon for an important project.
-
- Thanks................................ Mike Glover
