PPC and crashes
« on: February 02, 2003, 08:22:55 AM »
How offent does ppc programs or games usual crash if they are well written?

All my ppc programs and games usual crash after a couple of minutes if the cpu load is heavy.

It real anoying when I play games like FreeSpace or shogo and 90% of the games the ppc crash before I have finished a level.


Does the ppc real crash that offent or is there something wrong with my hard/soft- ware?


I have a A1200T BlizzardPPC 603/210 060/50 80MB and BVision.

I already have a fan and a little heatsink and it's not that hot.

You can toughts it witout burning but I can feel that it's warm through the tower case.

If it is overheating how come the rest 10% of game play work sometimes for houres?

I have one idea, that it could be the 16MB module, it's not original ram but I have removed it before and noticed noting except less memory (Would  be strange iif else :-D )

If it is heatsink as you say how big heatsink do I need?

I havn't overclocked it (yet) so it's not that hot.

16MB+64MB=80MB

Simple math

I havn't overclocked it (jet).

But there is some blue/green stuff that is suppos to be thermal paste but it's hard and I can't move the heat sink nor the fan.

I tryed to scrats it of but it's little space for that kind of operations.



I noticed a thing now that I newer noticed before:
One of the legs is MISSING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But it works okay.

The BVision is fine I already have a heat sink and extra power through the floppy power connection.

It´s the glue thermal past that don´t work as good as it used to.

You can acualy see the legs on my 603 ppc processor and one leg is half, the part from the processor to the soldering.

The only thing that keeps the heat sink in place is the glue stuff and there is now clips mecanism of any kind.

My problem is that I don´t know how to remove that glue in order to replays the glue and the heat sink.
If I try to ripp it of the processor will probably follow with it and I will have no working ppc processor anymore (if I don´t solder it back on ;-) :-D ) .

No I only have a newer BPPC card that has a processor that faster and cooler than the one you have.
