Scary enough I was experiencing the very same problem last night! The
screen was flickering into a shade of blue it seemed, or blue/green. I
thought it was a dodgy connection on my BVision but everything was screwed
snuggly and connectors all fine.

I did find that if i bang the boards (!!) the colour corrects itself. But i
don't want to have to kick the side of my tower case to solve this problem.
hehe.

Is there a known fix for this, such as a fan (mentioned above) - is it heat
related problem??

I already have lots of power going into my motherboard, and an extra fan on
my main PPC board.

Much help appreciated to solve this last problem :-)
