Strange crash?

I already mentioned of my problems in the 2.4.0 version discussion but I think the crashes I have experienced lately have nothing to do with software version.

I installed the 2.5.0 version and everything started well. I got the console programmed and we just entered the FOH when the console collapsed 10 minutes before the show. What happened was that the both screens went black and on the left screen there were some horizontal white stripes. Consoles playback was still working but nothing happened when entering PIG+OPEN+BACKSPACE. Only way to get around this was to turn the power off and back on. After this the console worked OK.

My colleague told that before installing the 2.5.0 version the console collapsed and sometimes it "tried to boot" itself and the HOG picture came to both screens and then again went off.

Anybody else had problems like this before? Any suggestions what it might be?

I tried to reproduce the problem by adjusting the screen saver time (as I think the screen saver was on when it collapsed) but I couldn't get the console to crash anymore.

Could it be the hard drive or graphics card?

Thanx in advance, sulkkis.

    It has done it completely randomly. Sometimes it has shut itself down without touching the console, sometimes when waking up the screen saver and sometimes immediately when you touch it. Once it has done it even before I started up the show.

    Anyway I thought that the problem was solved when I reinstalled 2.5.0 software but since then it has done it once. Which means that before findind a proper fault and solution to it I feel little bit worried to work with the console.
