[net.micro.att] Video Problems on 6300... Help!!!!!!!

I am having a rather serious problem with my 6300.  Whenever I run a program
that causes a switch between various video modes, I get a screen full of
garbage. Clear screen, etc. won't work.  Machine is still alive but I am
put in such a weird mode, that is impossible to continue useful work and 
I have to push the reset button to get out of it.  
For instance: I invoke super key, every thing is fine.  Then I hit <ESC>
to get back to what I was doing before and I get nothing but garbage on
the screen.  Mind you, if I try to get back to superkey, things are still
ok.  Another place it happens is in Microsoft windows.  From DOS executive
I invoke dbaseIII, wordstar, crosstalk or the like.  The application comes
up fine.  I switch back to DOS executive fine, but as soon as I try to
return to my application, I get garbage on the screen consisting of 
thick vertical bars on.   The application is still alive and I
can still switch back to dos executive and even the screen in DOS executive
looks fine but my application screen is useless!!!

If anyone can give me any help, I would really appreciate it.
