Allegedly, on or about 02 August 2016, Justin Moore sent:
Rebooting into single user and re-doing the install process for the
video drivers would work, but it was a real pain to do that every time
(the power in our neighborhood is ... finicky, so reboots are sadly a
frequent-ish occurrence).
Unless your harddrive is suffering repeated data corruption, I can't
imagine that reinstalling the same drivers over and over is *actually*
doing anything about the problem.
And I can't imagine why a power failure would be the cause of that. The
files read for supporting the hardware were read at boot time, and
thereafter held in memory. A crash, later on, should not have any
effect on the hard drive, other than to any files being written at the
time, or to files that have not yet been written.
