Hello all,

 

I've so far managed to assemble one good machine from the four, however
after about an hour of games last night it packed in with what I presume is
overheating - the video processor was hot and its back to normal this
morning, though it quickly got hot again. The symptoms were random
characters being sent to keyboard buffer and memory corruption worsening to
reboots going to a mode 7 screen full of character &FFs. Is this a common
problem?

 

Will continue with the other machines, I decided to give the others a go
before washing, two booted to a prompt before cleaning so there is some
hope!
