Summary: DMA chip suspect

I had a very similar problem with my floppy drive a while back.  From
changing monitors too often without fully powering down both the computer
and either monitor, I fried my DMA chip plus part of the floppy controller.
If I remember right, it costed about $400 dollars.  But the symptoms were
the same as yours... the dialog boxes and all.
