Amiga 4000 Cybervision 64/3D - UNSTABLE
« on: July 20, 2016, 10:02:40 AM »
Hi, I really need some good advices...

I installed a Cybervsion 64/3D in my Amiga 4000 and the card displays an 800x600 WB with no problem.

The issue is the overall instabitity of my system.

Very often I get random crashes, particularly when dragging windows or swapping from a windows to another.

Recently I noticed that sometimes when I type some characters, the Amiga displays some at random, different from the ones I typed.

When I boot from a disk to play a game I usually have no problems at all and the system is very stable...

I think I have both an issue with the exact configuration of my Cybervision and also with some hardware (I think the capacitorsSS) that are starting to wear off...

Sorry for my English.

Any advice would be very appreciated as I really want to preserve my wonderful machine.

Thank you very much for your answer.
 
 The problem of the random characters has started only lately and I think it is hardware-related (something is starting to wear off).
 
 For the Cybervision 64/3d, yes, the system is unstable when I installed the card.
 
 But it's a kind of strange, it crashes when dragging windows, swapping...

Do the strange characters only happen after the system has been on for a while (and heated up) or right from the start?

Right from the start the situation is very bad i.e. many random characters, but after 15-20 minutes on it gets better, but still some random characters, this is the reason why I think it might be hardware-related.
 
 The CPU gets very very hot, and I decided to leave the case opened. Do you think the situation would improve by adding a CPU fan?

Little update....

The character issue seems to have been solved by pressing all the chips in their sockets.

I also tried to disconnect the Cybervision and never had a single crash, so it really seems that it is causing the problem.

I think it has to do with its configuration because the crashes usually happen while dragging or swapping windows.

Any idea?
