I have a 25 Mhz station (8/400) which suddenly died right after installing
3.0.
While I was working, the whole screen went white (it actually repeats over and over a stripe of the "monitor" screen). I could not even turn the 
machine off, neither would alt-command-' do anything. So I detached
the power cable. When I turned the machine on, at first it tried fsck
finding that the filesystem was badly damaged (I guess from the sudden
death), and then again I had the white screen.

I thought it might have been something with the disk, so I changed it
(I just had an additional new 400 Megs disk).
The machine booted nicely. I re-installed 3.0, loaded a handful of PD
programs to let the system use all its (little) memory and do lots of 
paging for a few hours.

Happily I started to work again, and after a few hours the same story
again: white screen...

Any idea of what can be wrong? Thanks

Please answer to me (ronchet@itnsg1.cineca.it)
