Random screen fulla cyan?

Doing hard drive clean up when all the sudden my screen turns a solid color cyan for about 2 seconds....anyone experienced this?!

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.

quite possibly that could be it. I have never experienced it though...odd

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?

Sure did

Perhaps both ecookman and I should run a memtest then?

http://www.memtest.org/ if you're interested, it can't hurt.
