I am posting this for my sister-in-law, so the details may be sketchy...

She has been experiencing annoying and unusual crashes with her SE and the
*manufacturer's* versions of Microsoft Word 4.0 and ThinkC.  She is using
Finder and System 6.02.  The symptoms are as follows.  In Microsoft Word,
after many selections, menu picks, etc., the program suddenly crashes (but
not all the time!)  The bomb comes up and an unusual buzzing sound emanates
from the computer.  The display also flickers quickly.  With the ThinkC
program, the same flicker and buzzing occurs, but there is no rhyme or reason
to when it happens.

I'm just an electrical engineer :-) but this sounds to me like a hardware
problem of some kind (esp. the buzzing!)  Has anyone on the net experienced
this kind of problem before?  Any and all help appreciated.

Thanks,

Dave Gampell
