Arghh! , need some help here with my a1200!
« on: May 25, 2004, 06:21:32 AM »
hey, i've had some issues lately (since i finally got my sys up) , several people whom i know have said it daily that there is something wrong with my Amiga but hehe i belived it just was a bad drive or something, anyway here is the problem now..

1. Early Boot menu wont show up anymore, if i press both mouse buttons on reboot the system just hangs, if i let go of the mouse buttons the system boots nicely into workbench without any problems.

2. POWERPPC problems, it keeps saying it doesnt work (lots and lots of exceptions) , i tried to reconfigure it all from scratch and it didnt help , though things like "WARPDT" etc work fine (always). and its the WOS version.

3. Interupts seems to be the issue for all 3 points but its hard to say if its my motherboard or my mediator or any of the other hw, might even be the psu..
how i can tell? , when i type stuff in amirc , ibrowse etc its like...type like hell and it output fine but all of a sudden it pause for a moment in the middle and then the rest comes.

any tips ? , i reckon i should try and exchange my motherboard first as i have 3 in my house, i know one is busted but its not as busted as this one ...if its the case.

might be a psu issue and i have no replacement atm so....aargh.

cheers

@castellen , i dont have a oscilloscope sadly ;( but i will try and swap motherboard first today as its really weird that its acting up like this.

anyone recall which motherboards had major issues with bppc ?  , the mobo i use now is rev1.1b i think, must check closer when i get home from work..

anyway thanks for the input

castellen:no i use mediator so its powered with that directly from an AT psu , i also power the ppc directly from the psu too.
