Hi all,

I recently pulled out the A4000 from the cupboard booted it up and was pleased to see it booted up okay.

However, I have found that after consistent usage it will constantly freeze up. No gurus etc. There is no consistency to the freezing, it can strike any time. The machine has been stripped to the basics (no expansion cards etc). I have tried different ram sticks etc

I have an Apollo 4040 in it - but alas I no longer have the original Commodore board. The Apollo does appear to get very very hot after these crashes.

One thing I did notice when stripping down the A4000 is that it did not have the plastic insulator. Could this be causing it to freeze up constantly??


Try running the machine without the case, if you think it could be heat related...
