If you suspect a transient voltage spike, power outage, or brownout occurred, reload
the software and try running it again. Symptoms of voltage spikes include a
flickering video display, unexpected system reboots, and the system not responding
to user commands.
Note: Random errors in data files: If you get random errors in your data files, they may be
getting corrupted by voltage spikes on your power line. If you experience any of the above
symptoms that might indicate voltage spikes on the power line, you may want to install a
surge suppressor between the power outlet and the system power cord.
