HELP,  PLEASE!!!!   
   I've been having trouble with my Amiga...(I love the machine
but its irratic now)

   About once a month the thing flakes out.  The screen blinks gray
and then green, or sometimes other colors.  After I open the
thing and poke around it works again for another month or so.
This was annoying enough, now I have even more trouble.

  After I run for a random amount of time (2 minutes - two days)
the thing dies,  It looks like power was removed.?.  and
goes through a reboot.  However, the keyboard doesn't work.
I then power down, wait a few minutes and bring it back up
and it works fine again??????

  First, any ideas on what is wrong?
  Second, any idea where I can find out what the different colors mean?

Thanks in advance.
