Hi I upgraded to ROM 5.12 shortly after it was released, but didn't upgrade my graphics card until the weekend before last. I got occasional pyjamas with 5.12 and the original card, but since upgrading the hardware I had not seen the effect, and have had no failures of the Panther to start - until today. I switched the machine on at around 18:15 today, and left the room. When I came back I found a screen with a wide-ish speckled purple/green check pattern, different from the narrow stripes of the "old pyjamas". There was no response to the reset button either - I had to reach round to the back of the machine to switch it off and on before it would start. I don't think it's temperature related - the heating is on and this room is quite warm. Any thoughts? -- Brian Howlett --------------------------------------------------- What's the difference between ignorance and apathy?
