A curious problem--

I just added a color monitor to my Mac II.  The system now
crashes (freezes) after ~12 hours of use.  This does not occur
with a monochrome monitor, nor does the problem seem to be
related to any one program.  The crash has these symptoms:
the mouse can move the cursor on the screen, but programs 
do not detect button or key clicks.

Has anyone else had a similar problem; if so, what was the 
cause & cure ?

Possible causes that I've come up with (ranging from the possible
	to the bizzare):
1) The code activated by the 'color' setting (vs. black & white, 
   not # of shades) on the control panel has a time-bomb effect;
2) Poor E-M shielding in monitor or mac (monitor is on top on mac, 
   as was the monochrome);
3) Static charge on surface of monitor (somehow) causing glitch
   (though this would probably fry the mac, not just crash).
4) Added current draw is causing very short duration low-voltage
   condition on power line to mac, which would explain why the
   (interrupt-driven) mouse still works, but the program is hosed;
5) Space aliens from Regulus 6 have invaded.

Seriously, this is a bad condition that takes many hours (~12) to show
itself, so taking it to a dealer who will just plug it in and say
'Looks OK to me' is not a good solution.  However, it is still 
under warranty, so...

Thanks,

Steve Fenwick
