Hey, me too!  Mine has been doing it off and on for over a year now.
Usually the >SNAP!< just causes the picture to jump, so that the vertical
blanking bar becomes visible.  A few times it has caused a crash.  Once
(no kidding) it caused my printer to output a line feed!  Is my computer
trying to tell me something? :-)

I'd sure like to know how to cure this problem.  I'm afraid one of these
days it's gonna blow a chip.
