Heh. I told Paddy in PM that it could be a hardware issue. (I had a similar issue with screen blanking on my computer and the cause was the fan on the video card causing a buildup of dust on the circuit board, which introduced spurious capacitance, which caused regular screen blackout once things warmed up, i.e., until reboot. A thorough vacuuming fixed that!)

Vacuuming? hell i use my compressor set at 120psi if it blows resistors off the hardware its time to upgrade.

This.

You can really mess your computer up with the static electricity created using a vacuum. Or, like Oh Canada, you can be Mr. luckypants!
