This is weird, but for the past few days when I start up my mac, one of my displays ( i have 2) gets this thing on the side with a bunch of missing pixels. It sort of looks like a bar code almost. Then when the leopard starts, the display is fine.
I did an apple hardware test with the disk, and it says everything is ok. I am wondering if it is the video card (ati). I don't think it is the display itself.
Also, the other day, the screen saver froze the entire computer and I had to push the power button to restart. I have also had it freeze once when just sitting idle.
The only other extras I have are ram (non apple) and a sonnet pci usb card.
Is there any other specific test I can do.
