But a swap of cables and all is perfect.....ODD!!!!!

Sounds like a weird coincidence. Just out of curiousity, did you try put that cable back in, and seeing if it happened again?
 
Did you check the cable and see if it had any broken wires or anything?
 
The cable looks perfect to the eye. Now that I am back p and running I have yet to try the old cable...bad cable..bad ;)
