This helped me and another person on this forum with a similar problem.  It was originally posted here - http://forums.sideimagingsoft.com/index.php?topic=2377.msg13059#msg13059


I don't know if this will work for you or not, but it worked for me on both my 998c SI and 798c SI with a similar problem - mine was locking up and acting sporatically on certain screens until I did this with my units:

1)  I adjusted the power plug pins with a small screwdriver to make sure it's seated in the Humminbird unit with a solid connection.  If they're too straight, these problems would present themselves.

2)  Make sure any SD cards you have in the unit are blank or removed unless you need them.  I found with mine that if I had an SD in my unit, it make it act very strangely.  Once I backed them out or cleared them out, that my units ran much better.

Hope this helps.
