strange erratic behavior

[Josef Lowder]

.
Thanks for these tips and suggestions.  I must admit I have 
not checked all the connections, so will do that.  Also, while 
this computer is fairly new (self-built), it has an old video 
card and I probably should upgrade the video card, but don't 
know what card to get and I've been hesitant to make any 
changes because it seems that any time I change anything 
changes always seem to create new problems.
