Blizzard 1230 IV 50Mhz lockups. Overheating? Help!
« on: December 29, 2006, 03:14:50 PM »
Im trying to get my A1200 in order and am having a problem with random lockups after it has been on a while.

Have Blizzard 1230 IV in trapdoor with 64Mb and SCSI attachment. The 50 Mhz 030 chip seems to get really hot even though the trapdoor is left off and the machine is slightly raised.

After a while Workbench will lock up or if playing games, the gfx will corrupt and the machine will reboot.

Surely it is not normal to have to put a slimline heatsink on such a config but if so where do I get one thin enough and how do I glue it on??!?!

Regards
