Win XP, Firefox, NEC Versa P600
When I open a few tabs at once in Firefox (which is normally how I read these forums and others) the screen instantly goes black and nothing but a reboot brings it back. WTF?

Weird indeed. Hows the RAM? Does any other somewhat intensive work do the same thing?
I don't like using most any other browser any more now that FF does tabs and automatic session save/restore without any plug-ins. Life is much easier when the same 5 sites you visit daily open every time you launch the browser.
The only thing I can think of is there's some secret NEC key sequence that I'm accidentally triggering by ctrl-clicking so many times in quick succession.
Huh. Could you be accidentally hitting Fn instead of Ctrl? And then you end up hitting something like the LCD/CRT swap button or some such?
Maybe brushing the Fn. Not hitting anything else but the mouse button, and there was a CRT plugged in.
I'm starting to suspect it has something to do with the memory leaks in Firefox. It's been crashing so much on another machine (without blanking the screen/hanging the computer) that I've moved to Opera
