   I would to like to thank everyone for there suggestions about my
friends problem with his machine going dead.  It turns out that is in
fact a monitor problem.  For about 2 years the monitor has "pop"ed every
so often, but it seems that it is now back blasting the machine.  

   This was finaly isolated by using the RCA mono jack to hook up the
video instead of the digital one. The result:  A stable system that has
not crashed in days.  We have also reconnected it and watched two crashes.
Both were acompaniend by the monitor pop.  Note, the monitor itself is
not going dead, but is instead nocking out the machine.

    One person sugggested I try an upgrade power supply, but I am already
using a 200watt supply. (the hard drive needed it).  For now, my friend
will continue to use B&W (YUCK!). At least until I can pick up some
chroma dope.

						thanks again,
						Stuart
