Well, I guess it may not be a bad (RAM) chip, but its still INDIGESTION. Per my previous message It seems that the vertical-striping that I was seeing is in some way related to overscan. SceneGenerator seems to be overscanning but I can also now get DPAINt III to pretty reliably plop up the same vertical stripe(s) when I jump around in screen modes and page sizes enabling OVERSCAN – I sometimes also get wierd 'striping' from the arrow pointer like its "dripping" its image vertically over the full (top-bottom) screen. I suppose I'll open up the beast and carefully re-seat averything, but I am starting to worry that some undocumented feature of my now departed Insider (the $C00000 memory ?) is the cause of the problem… Do I need such memory to get overscan ? PS – Monitor is Panasonic DT-M140 but I've had it for years so it is not a variable factor with this new problem (unless it is failing). -help – da – via Whap!
