Hum! You have to keep your Permedia2 chip cool, by puting a fan or a
radiator on it!
On my system, i just need to keep my tower "open" (by removing the cover) to
have the pm2 operating safefully.

Re-flash your PPC (with the "DCE flash rom") and cool down your PM2 chip!
If i remember well, a red screen indicate a ROM (or MAPROM) error.
Oh... and are you sure you have installed CGX3 or 4 correctly?
And does your Mother Board have sufficient Power? Have you connect the
floppy-Disk power-connector to your Power Supply as indicated in the
BVision documentation? This could be the problem: not enough power on your
system with the BVision installed!

Definitively not! Warp-Os exception indicate an error in the software, or,
sadly more often, a problem with the memory (not enough memory is the most
common case).
Or perhaps insufficient Power supply, as this can affect the memory SIMMs

By using the CGX 4.2 pr�-7 update overclocking tooltypes, surely. But for a
non-overclocked BVision, you just have to prevent it to getting to hot. In
most case, a good air circulation in the tower case is enough.
