Does anybody else get screeching and glitches screens with the Axe FX II?

On rare occasions the Axe FX has emitted some sort of digital white noise and had the display either go completely green without any pixels, had every pixel fill in, or some sort of jumbled combination. It's a different kind of sound and display malfunction every single time. This has happened...

So, once again... bags for the Axe FX 2?

Has anybody found a fitting bag for the Axe FX 2 without using 90 degree connectors with the Gator Cases? I've seen on the board that someone found a rolling Warwick rock bag to fit nicely, but I'm looking for something smaller, without wheels, and 2U.

Yet another AFX2 interface/soundcard question... clipping and distortion?
