including mrimg, and the Linux CD and then today
everything worked. That's all I know.

The very first thing one I was up and running
was update all the A/V tools. So my 8200 is
still in the game....

Now that it is,.. is there some component or
software you would like me to check so I don't
have this boot issue or screen going black again?

I think by now, you must have a pretty good idea
how limited software is on computers. Lots of
stuff requires observation, intuition and
guessing. We know there's something "intermittent"
on the 8200, but I can't guess what that is.

I can only think of a few examples of really
good, low level hardware testing. My Sun computer
had a diagnostic routine, that tested things for
you, instead of running the OS. And it could
actually find stuff. The Windows and Mac programs
that claim to do hardware testing, have been
pretty feeble by comparison. A waste of money.
