And now and then I get other strange things. The Mac will not wake after sleep. I've to press the power button to come out of sleep (no restart) Every few months when he awakes I get a screen full of colored blocks. Need to restart. Now and then suddenly all the icons on the desktop disappear for several seconds. They come then back and everything works. I use 10.5.8. I had this on previous versions as well.
