SP-2 Screen going temporarily black

[dberkowitz]

I installed SP-2 and since have had problems with the screen going black for
a few seconds (as many as five or so) with a square white cursor.

I've got an Athalon 1.8 with 738ram. When I run my security software
updates, this happens more often. It didn't matter whether I had my
antivirus software installed or not.

What gives?

Is this at bootup or randomly when machine is up and running???

Randomly when the machine is up and running. I'm running Trend Micro's PC
Cillin. --db

I have the same problem at start up, after choosing a user.
