Hello TriggerFinger, tnx for the reply. Upon your suggestion, I did two things. 1. I booted up to the windows login screen and just waited. In about 4 minutes LCD went white. (monitor went black). 2. I then booted off of a Knoppix CD. It booted fine, found all the hardware, and then in about 2 minutes into using it the LCD went white, and the monitor black. This is starting to sound like an intermittent hardware based issue to me. Any suggestions as to where to start. Inverter ? Video Chip, Memory. Does the video memory share RAM like on some desktops ? Thanks
