You may have video chip failing.
How old is your laptop?..

I agree, it's still under warranty.  Contact Acer immediately.

Hi Broni

The laptop is only 10 months old. I have given up on it - going to take it in on warranty claim as Computer Commando says. I think my time is better spent over Christmas installing my new hard disks on my gaming machine in raid mirrored. (I've never done a raid before so it'll be a new experience.)


Thanks to you both for helping me - learned some new things

Merry Christmas!
