Settings > Display: 2560x1440 60Hz, I see which is correct for my 27
inch display I think.

Has anyone else been experiencing corruption of the display image into
a wash of tiny rectangles, seemingly at random after several hours of
successfully using your system?

I do a hard shutdown by holding the power button down for five seconds
when I get into this crash. Is there a key combination I could try
instead? I'm normally in the browser when this display image
desintegration crash happens, as the browser is what I normally use my
computer for. So, yeah, I guess hard shutdown with the power button is
reasonable at that point. Is there a log I should look in? Thank you
all for any suggestions that come to mind.

Roger
