P.S "Sometimes when it happens again instead of being gray screen, it goes lines of green screen dancing around as the power LED flashes, then becomes full green screen then reboots....after hitting gray. Oh, this does not happen only except if I am in workbench, but if I am playing games it is ok. Oh one more essential update, now it no longer waited 3 minutes it toke less than 5 seconds before repeating the symptoms again."


Then this leaves three things.

1) PSU - Not using the standard one? You'll need a better PSU, I'm using a 350W ATX.

2) Timing fixes - I had mine done through Amigakit.

3) Capacitors - One or more might be at fault, I had mine replaced through Amigakit.

Just another thing, remove everything from the workbench startup folder :-)

Not sure as I haven't had any issues with AmigaSYS 060. You're selecting hardware setup and choosing the Apollo under the AmigaSYS menu?

Most of the stuff on that side screen can be access via the right click menu anyway :-)

Where has all your fast RAM gone?? LOL Should have at least 28MB free?

Personally, I'd recommend ClassicWB

It's probably the best one for real hardware.


Amigasys worked well for me, had 28MB free. Just noticed in his screen shot he had just over half of that showing?

But yes classic is probably the best bet :-)
