Hello Chaps,
Anyone figure this one out.
I've had a 1200 in a Power Tower sat here dormant for ages. I basically
bought it for the purpose of taking it to HAUG meets with me, but it's been
a bit flaky ever since I got it. I got so annoyed at it one day I just
shoved it to one side and it's been a coffee stand ever since.
Anyway, I decided to try and sort the beggar out today.
It's a newish 1D4 timing fixed motherboard, with a Power Flyer, 3.1 ROMS
and a Phase 5 040/40 PPC/160 card with 64 megs fast ram.. It also has a BVision.
When I first got it, it would boot AOK, then after about 5 minutes, it
would freeze and I'd have to reset. Then it would only boot into AGA and no
fast memory would show, which wasn't very good :(
I always assumed that it was some kind of power problem, despite the power
tower PSU. Or perhaps an overheating problem.
Anyway, today I removed the BVision and it made no difference. Now it
refuses to boot (well apart from once) when any combinations of SIMMS (which
I know to be OK) are inserted. With no Ram on board, it boots from the
flyer and it's behaves AOK.
So, anyone care to shed any light there? Apart from, it's Knackered, which
it probably is. I tried wiggling, cleaning and the Ram connectors etc etc to no
avail :(
Tara!
