[comp.sys.atari.st] Need help with system failures

Help!!! I'm having intermittent failures on my Mega2, and the local dealer
can't find anything wrong with it. The symptoms are vertical lines across
the screen, and the system just hangs. My first suspicion was a problem with
the memory chips (I've got 4 MB), but it passes all the memory diagnostics
the dealer has run on it. The dealer suggested the hard drive might be
causing a problem, so I reformatted, and eventually took it out alltogether
with no change. I've also ruled out the possibility that the software is the
problem since it fails irrespective of what I'm running. I'm not sure which
version of TOS I'm running; the Desk Info menu just displays an 86/87 copy-
right date.

If anyone has any clues or suggestions I would certainly appreciate it!

Thanks,

Sheryl Olguin
