Ok, so i've had my c3500 for like 5 months, no issues, now all of a sudden i'm having screen problems. i was browsing the web and all of a sudden the screen started getting sort of staticy and breaking up, so i immediatly shut it down. now every once and a while it just starts up like that, even from the averatec boot screen, what could it be? wiring?

Sounds either like a driver issue or that the video card may be going south. If you haven't already done so, go to Averatec's Web-Site and download the latest driver fom there.

If that doesn't work I suggest that you call tech support.

Mine does it too. Averatec Tech support is not very good, at least my experience with them isn't. I just give it a decen bapping across the back of the screen and it usually goes away.
