I just had something happen that I've never seen in ~30 years of PC use. My screen suddenly went to a scramble of colors in small dots, kind of like what we used to call snow on TVs back in the 50s except in color. It didn't respond to anything and I finally had to hold the power button for a hard shutdown. I waited a couple of minutes and fired it back up. It came up normally and, interestingly enough, made no mention of abnormal shutdown. I have occasionally had to shut down with the power button in the past but at reboot it always noted the abnormal shutdown and asked if I wanted to resume where I left off. Not this time. Any comments will be read with interest.
