That's what I understood, too. Mine's occasionally doing something
like that. It seems to be tied to CPU temperatures (overheating).
It's really kind of weird. It's for that first few seconds of booting
where it's running through a checkup before those boot messages begin
appearing. When mine keeps flicking off like that, fanning it with a
piece of paper gets it past that hump then it doesn't do it again.
It's like something in the first stage is pushing the CPUs hard then
it backs off once those messages start scrolling.
That presents a detail that's not clear on Gene's case. Is the
computer just stopping and standing at that screen, or is it shutting
off? Mine shuts off. This might be an apples and oranges thing where I
typed a bunch of noise. :)
