Red screen is an invalid Kickstart ROM.
It can happen if you have strange modules loaded resident (e.g. USB card, that sort of thing, can store themselves so that you can warm boot off them).
Try booting with no Startup-sequence (hold down both mouse button on boot, then click on Boot with No Startup-Sequence), wait for the AmigaDOS window to appear, and then try Ctrl+Amiga+Amiga as usual. If it reboots happily, then it's something you're running that's installing itself and confusing Kickstart, probably.

tried all the boot up bits...hold down mouse button etc  ..boot no startup  etc ..only  a hard turn off turn  on reboots ..otherwise  i just get a flashing red screen forever ..rarely  maybe  if a program crashes i get a red screen that goes to guru an left mouse button will reboot it  ...ive never replaced the kickstart chips  in this machine ..too many things plugged in now an ive actually screwed it back together ..
