You can try the following two things:
- restart deactivating packages (press with the pen on the screen)
and say no. Do you experience these problems?
Alternatively, freeze (as in deactivate) as many packages as you can
among those you don't use to see if the problem still occurs then. To
freeze packages, you need to have freezing enabled. If you do, just
select an icon in extras, press the route button (envelope) and
choose Freeze. If you don't, enable it with Options from SBM
(http://www.sbm.nu).
- backup/erase/restore the content of the card.
It may help.
Otherwise, we might figure out what the Newton is spending its time
in, but I'm not aware of any tool to do so. Basically, I would vote
for strange and unusual card issues only if it spends most of its
time in the kernel. Otherwise, it could be some bug in the software
you have installed or data corruption.
Still, your problem is weird indeed. The only noise problem I'm aware
about happens with the -10061 (typically when the kernel goes nuts).
Pressing somewhere with a pen fixes it.
