- Why do you believe that it's the accelerator? These problems are typical
- symptoms of TONS of minor things which could happen. EVERY time my system
- has had problems of 'random' crashing & such, the cause has been EMI/RFI in
- nature (believe it or not). I have had problems with modem transformers,
- a modem, and a monitor each (at different times) being so electrically/
- magnetically noisy that my system wouldn't run, and exhibited these exact
- symptoms.
-
- In this, I suppose is a lesson (for myself): even though telling someone that
- their problem is EMI/RFI is almost a JOKE, sometimes it really IS the problem!
-
- Or it could, of course, be your accelerator. :)
