It sounds like a video card issue, and I think it the GeForce 250 may be randomly overheating, so I bought a roomier case. Hopefully that will fix the problem. If not, then I guess I'll try the Radeon 5870 that's lying around.

Not much else going on. We watched Burn Notice last night and finished up "2012." Later today, we may go for a hike.

The weekend is around the corner and Sunday is 4th of July around these parts, so we might get together with some friends and put some meat on the BBQ. Normally there is also a big fireworks show, but the event has been canceled this year. Our dear mayor has been squandering the city's funds, so things had to be cut all over the place.
