Happens now and then to the best of us. You get a screen full of MS-DOS like commands, eery. Sad that they still havent sorted this out by OS 10.4.2

The most likely suspect is the Radeon card. Does it have the latest firmware from August of 2005? If you've still got the original AGP card, try running without the Radeon 7000 to see if the problem goes away.

Have you always had this problem, or did it start recently? Any new hardware, such as external USB or FireWire devices?
