While zoom in using mouse - wire frame graphics disappear - help

Hi all, I have a solid part that I just remodeled from scratch. In wire frame mode I zoom in using the scroll wheel on my mouse and as the 3d geometry is zooming in areas of the part will disappear, strange line will crisscross my part, Does anyone have solution. I tried shutting down my computer and restart everything.
I tried suppressing feature one at a time from the bottom up the tree and can't seem to determine the problem feature. I just change my model accuracy to .0006 relative and the exploding wire frame come back
I'm using WF2 Build m160
Thanks in advance Texaspete

Never argue with an idiot. They'll bring you down to their level and beat you with experience every time.

Heckler, I think I found my problem. I had a variable section sweep (solid) that had a leak. In th sketch I used a edge of a surface as a constraint (it was a rib, with 3 line to define the rib) and the constraint didn't follow the surface. I redefined the rib (variable section sweep) with 4 lines (closed sketch) and made sure that the rib intersected the surface.

PS. I bought a Dell 470 Xeon 3.6g 4 ram, Mid range CAD graghics card Nvidia Quadro FX 3450 / 4000 SDI.

So far the file is fixed.
