Having some harddrive problems. After having my computer run for 15-20 minutes the screen will blink and then lock up, or it will go completely blank. Sometimes a cold reboot will get me some more time, sometimes I just have to wait awile. I have ran the computer without the harddrive and the problem goes away. I have also cleaned the connectors on the expansion slot. I have also heard the fan in the harddrive slow down and speed back up. Have I covered all the avenues before I start whining to you? By the way, I have a GVP A500-HD8+ with 2megs of simms installed. On the bright side. I have become a much more efficient typist. …Jim Lay…

Sounds like a flakey power supply. GVP's had a bit of trouble with older ones of those…
