Hi!

Been running a 1200 paired with an M-Tec 1230/28 w. 8mb RAM for a good week now, and it's been working fine, but today it started screwing up. Had a nice long WHDload session in the evening/afternoon, turned off the comp, then started it up again a couple hours later and now it just won't run stable for long.

The rig keeps resetting under load, wonder why... occasionally I also get a software failure (press left mouse to reboot, etc).

It was running Classic Workbench when I bought it, one of the heavier setups as far as I could tell (ADV or ADVSP w. Scalos, high colour icons and god knows what else), I tried to install LITE and at least I can run a few applets after boot, but anything heavier seems to cause a reset again. Reinstalled ADV and it gives me alot more trouble.

I am suspecting the expansion RAM, it looked a bit corroded so I cleaned it up, but it doesn't seem to make a difference. (I do recall seeing more RAM in Workbench now that I've reseated it a few times, but not 100% sure...)
Or could it be power supply... quirky in any case. Sadly the floppy is whacked so I just can't load a disk game and see how it behaves... dunno a good way to test the rig really.

Anyone seen this before, or something similar?
Some advice would be great. :(


Try to look at the guru messages when they eventually pop up. like I have (or had - just sent back for rma)  a Typhoon 030/40 that continuously got GURU. #8000000D "Coprocessor Protocol Violation".
