	The Exact thing happened to me, and it WAS NOT THE MONITOR!


The problem really showed up whenever I tried t use a Re-set Proof RamDisk, OR
Shadow (ver 1.1)

Well I opened the macine up, thinkng that I was having problems with 
my new Z-Ram 3-D/4 Meg upgrade, I installed recently. Well to make a long
story short, it was a pin connection on the GLUE chip that caused all the
trouble. All I did was to re-move the chip, clean all the contacts, and 
then replace the chip. Bingo..... Problem solved. 

As an aside, I also did the same to the MMU socket connections. 

Havn't had a problem since.....
