I have seen this happen in two cases, different from thos already described in this thread: 1: a Network coax cable with a faulty BNC connector that wouls shortciquit when moved. Did the trick.... 2: Power supply faults (brownout or spikes). I used to have 'em when I switched on an old printer. Rewired the sockets (solif copper wire!) and now it's ok. Success!
