Hmm. Ian, it sounds like you have warranty available on this machine. If
you do, I'd give them a call and maybe take it by the shop. If no warranty,
are you comfortable in opening up the case and messing about in there?
(Just wondering) I'm curious as to whether the 512 MB of RAM is a single
stick or 2 sticks.

Meanwhile, I expect another of my colleagues will step up to the plate
here...and we'll get this sorted together.

8E's can be kind of tricky.

They can be any of the following:

bad/incompat hardware
poorly written GDI driver/filter driver
poortly written application driver
faulty system service

Best thing for you to do here is to look at getting a hardware diagnostics
done on the machine and then moving forward from there. Since this is very
randomized I would tend to think that its a hardware issue, but its hard to
say without knowing the whole story. Has this always happened since youve
had the machine?
