I've experienced weird things where my screen goes staticy, or glitches out. Happens sometimes just randomly, maybe you deleted something that something else was using, and it took a second or two for it to figure it out? I wouldn't really worry unless it happens multiple times.

I've had the infamous Cyan Screen Of Death before... I believe it was a memory (RAM) issue with my old Pentium 4.

In my case though, it was solid Cyan until I shut it down. Happened while I was running memtest.

I guess that machine failed the memtest then, eh?

Perhaps both ecookman and I should run a memtest then?
