It seems that the bit 6 of odd addresses is turned to 1. just before the crash, black vertical lines appear on the screen. It is then impossible to reboot as long as the computer is warm. I brought it to the local ATARI dealer who was unable to make the phenomenon happen, but it still happens at my home, even if I boot my ST without anything: no hard disk, no floppy, nothing! Does anybody already had a similar problem and could say me what to do? Would it help if I changed the RAMs? My computer is a 520ST with 1M RAM. Eric
