I am hoping someone can answer a couple of questions about the A4000.  It 
is a small problem I found the other night while moving the computer 
around when it was running.   
   When it is standing on it's side (it is not a tower) or on an 
unbalanced table that kind of twists the casing, The graphics sometimes 
go all screwed up and blank the screen,  usually resulting in an evil 
software failure.  I know it is not the Monitor as it does the same thing 
with three different ones.  
   Has anyone else had a problem with this when you apply pressure (ever 
so slightly though) to the bottom of case or twist the case a small 
amount.  I know the bottom is practicaly touching the motherboard but a 
very small pressure sometimes screws the graphics and locks the system up.
   It seems odd that there would ever be a problem moving the computer 
while it is on to get at cables and such.

   Any help would be greatly appreciated.
