A4000 problems
« on: October 10, 2003, 02:46:38 AM »
I'm having problems with my A4000 booting and /or running consistently these days.  It's been very stable up to this point and I'm afraid it may have been damaged by an electrical problem in my building.
 Anyway, I have an A4000 in a Power Tower w/a Cyberstorm PPC, 90+MB Ram, Mediator, Voodoo4 graphics card,  SB sound card, 10/100 ethernet, and HyperCom 4.  

What's happening is when I turn it on, it either goes through a little grinding, but doesn't boot(showing nothing on the monitor) or does the same grinding, but shows a green screen on my Amiga 15hz monitor (1042? i forget))and still doesn't boot  or it boots but then freezes after about 3-5 mins.  

I have removed all of the peripherals and tried booting, with the same results.  What I'm wondering about is the green screen that I've seen more than a few times.  What does that mean in the pre-boot test?  Could it be a RAM problem?
