strange phantom image at shutdown

Nass, the monitor is about 3 years old. All drivers - monitor and graphic
card - are current. I captured a jpeg pic of the image but don't know how
to, or even if I can, post it within a post here.

Hi Chip,
You can either send as an attachment if you are using an E-mail client on
your computer not the Usenet Like ME, then somebody using OE/Thunder...etc
can open it and have a look and give an insight.
Or you can host it on a website and send the link, there are many sites
provide this service.
Check your memory is okay:
You may have a bad RAM try to test your RAM by running Memtest by
downloading this tool and unzip it and make a floppy or CD/DVD and run it on
Reboot.

You may need to reposition/reset the RAM sticks in their slots
HTH.
