CRT iMac? - my old DV400 used to do that and then one day the analogue board went. If it happened today I would not bother getting it repaired.

If I remember correctly about 6 months and it was very occasional. I got it repaired and have had no trouble since then - you don't want to buy it do you?..............

Or it could be the monitor degaussing itself. Seems to happen more frequent as the CRTs age.

Sorry - I meant the whole machine as it complete and working - but it was a bit of a cheeky question as you and I are both in the UK and I thought you might want a replacement machine.

no thanks. ill think ill get an eMac as my new machine.
"Or it could be the monitor degaussing itself. Seems to happen more frequent as the CRTs age." - i dont think so. its more of a "tick" than a "dwoomph"

UPDATE:
I have resized the screen and it hasnt done it once. (apart from when I switched to 1024x768, but then i switched back.)
i have got it working a lot more faster & smoother and it hasnt frooze once apart from when i edited a program... i got it like this by increasing the disk cache size from 10mb to 70mb. big improvement.
thanks for all your replies.
