Hey all, please advise. I'm having troubles with my a1200 lately. Problems started a few months ago, with random crashes while playing 3D games that use the PPC processor. Amazingly, half a year ago I could play games like Quake and H2 for hours without a single crash. (not that I did, since Q1 is rather boring and H2 runs like sh*t, but nice stresstests, no? ;)


Ok, my first question would be, what's changed?

You say this behaviour started a few months ago, did you add or remove something a few months ago in terms either of hardware or software?

Sounds like it could be time to break out the alcohol to clean up all your connector contacts.

Might also be worth reseating the heatsink on the ppc and applying some fresh thermal paste.
