Stuck...power issues...bad board?..thoughts?

[PCX]

On new or refurb systems, early failures, or imminent failures. On other systems, random, unrepeatable errors. I have a Toshiba laptop in now that the screen randomly goes grey, according to the customer. Running HW test on it to stress the video.

This may help a bit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burn-in

Thanks. This is pretty much what I do (after the diagnostics of course) before putting a refurb on a shelf. I just never run it for longer than an 90 min or so. I will do some more research on it when I get a moment.
