I have a wierd problem I cannot figure out. 

I'm running DR-DOS 6.0 on a 486sx/25. Occasionally(2 or 3 times a day)
when switching in/out of applications, the screen suddenly goes into a
40 column mode then says 'Parity Error.  Press Any Key'.

The machine is then stuck and I'm forced to reboot.

If you have experienced similar problem and have found a solution for
it, I would very much be interested in hearing from you.

Thanks.

   This looks more like a hardware problem.
   I would check for bad memory chips.
 
Hope this helps.
