Hog iPC bugging out badly

Hello,
I had a major issue with the iPC last night. I was running lights and the first two bands who came up I had no issues with. Right as Colby Caillat came on stage, the console started bugging out badly. My cue lists started disappearing, the palattes started showing randomly created new pallates, half the buttons stopped working properly, and the lights wouldn't respond to the console unless I punched it in manually (like, fixture 1 thru 8 @ full).

At that point, I ended up pulling the DMX line so the stage would at least remain lit as the console kept clearing itself out as well.

Does anyone have any idea as to what would cause this to happen?

Thanks,
Matt

    Another possibility is water drops on the touch screens. I had this happen an outdoor Christmas dress rehearsal last Thursday night. The fog rolled in and the dew began to set everywhere. I don't know about the ones imbedded in the Hog iPC but my (2) 17" external Elo touch screens can really act up if they get damp.

    That night the dew was heavy enough to form droplets and/or rivlets that would cause havoc because the touch screen thought it was being touched all over. Luckily for me these were mounted in such a way that I could tilt them so the screen surface was pointed down. I just raised them up and sat "under" them so I could still see. For the remaining outdoor performances I will run it the same way.
