Just had a very weird experience with my Powerbook. I clicked onto the Les Miserables site in Safari and my Powerbook threw a fit. The display started to fade and within a few seconds it had created an odd pattern with a dark patch in the top right corner and a very light patch in the bottom left corner and the rest all looked 'dusty'. Over the next minute or so, the effect worsened and the PB froze entirely.
A hard reset got the screen looking normal again but is this a symptom of something about to go 'boom'? I've got 3rd party RAM in there but it's coming up for a year old and Tiger's been just as stable as Panther with it. There was a strange fluttering noise from the keyboard a few minutes before my screen pattern which I wondered about but it stopped just before the PB did.
Picture below in case it helps anyone identify the problem - as usual, excuse the quality - it's from a phone. EDIT- the discolouration of the screen is on the Mac though and not just dodgy lighting in the photo.
