Who else has problems with your Amiga's stability under OS4?
My A3000UX is acting exactly like an A2000 I used to use.
I am really afraid to run programs because it's hit or miss when I run one whether it will run or Guru 80000003! No matter what the program is.
I don't seem to have any problems as long as I don't run new programs. If I manage to successfully start 10 programs and let them brew for a day everything is OK.
I have tested my RAM many times, and my 604e chip is merely warm, and nothing else in my Amiga is getting hot.

Hi,
try to look at the PSU +5v voltage when it runs and crashes.
-
I run OS4 on my A3000 and it's quite stable. Check out connections and PSU.
-
I have tried two different known good PSUs with the same results. I use AT power supplies. Also note that this ONLY happens when actually starting a new program. If it were the power supply, I'd expect it to intermittently happen all the time.
-
what apps are crashing? 68K?
If are 68K rise theyr icon stack (or shell stack as well)
-
68k so far, don't know that any PPC ones have. But, default stack is 128000.
-
name what apps and i'll try.
-
IBrowse, AmigaAMP, YAM, TurboCalc, HSPascal, and more...
-
Not that kind of trouble. I had a failed install at first, cause the PPC overheated. After getting a fan directly on to it, all started to be quite steady.
Could be bad power, memory?

I have had trouble with OS4 on my A4000T.
I think mine is relaited to the TCP stack though, I am using ioblixether.device which works just great under 3.9 but the stack crashes after a while. (with ibrowse almost always instantly, amirc lasts up to 20 minutes, Yam after a few minutes)
I have yet to try that many 68k programs and all the little programs included with OS4 run fine. (Excluding internet relaited ones)
I am still looking into whats causing it.
The computer works fine after the internet has crashed, just the net programs are locked solid.
Spec: A4000T 060/50 & 604e/233, Cybervision 64-3d, ioblix + ethernet & Thylacine. booting from SCSI drive attached to CS, DVDRW on motherboard IDE (was on a powerflyer but mehh) along with an SD card reader (for booting 3.9 :D )
