Hi Folks!
I just got one of these off ebay, from China. When I got it - it fired right up, and I went down to Street Fighter IV and let it run, I walked away and came back about 10m later and it was at the menu. I thought that was odd.
Ever since then - It appears totally random as to whether the system will run for 2 minutes, or 4 minutes, but never longer than that.
It is playing along and then BAM - just shuts down. I have tried moving the one stick or ram to another slot - made sure the video card is seated well, the 2 motherboard fans are plugged in and running. No caps look to be bad on the motherboard.
What should I troubleshoot next? I was thinking of taking off the CPU cooler and maybe putting down some arctic silver and making sure that's all good - but the heatsink itself doesn't even have time to get hot, so not sure if that is even the issue.
Thanks in advance for any advice!
BTW - I am using the AxunWorks CBOX for the JVS I/O.
