DP2000 Crash? Screen Flickering

The show is about to start... I am checking the hog3, DP2000, and everything else, everything is working like it should. The show starts, I start a cue, it begins to play, I press forward... nothing happens, I press forward again... nothing happens again. I notice the DP2000 is displaying something odd on its LCD and the backlight is flickering. The hog3 is not frozen at all but I have no control over the cues.

I am in the middle of a show right now, and I can't disconnect the dmx from the DP2000 because everything will go dark. And now the DP2000 is randomly resetting itself. Screen still flickering...

Someone please help me. I have no idea what is going on.

Thanks!!!

    Is the backlight flickering randomly, or is it an on-off-on-off cadence? Does it flicker all the time or only when you can't run a cue?

    If it's flickering randomly, my first guess would be the power supply. If you have meter, you can open up the DP and check the power supply output. There's a 4-pin connector from the PS to the CPU. Two are at ground, and the other two should have a steady 3.3volts on them.
