- I have an old A2000 (Rev 4.2 Motherboard) that I bought via the first
- CBM power-up program many many moons ago. It is currently outfitted
- with 2.04, a Microway Flicker-Fixer, an old CBM 2 meg expansion card and a
- GVP 030/22-combo.
-
- Within the past month, whenever I boot the system, it will
- hang at random spots during the system boot. Sometimes a clock
- program fails, sometimes Shadowmaster, sometimes Toolmanager. It also
- will crash during the first program I launch at random times.
- HOWEVER, if I reset the machine 6 or 7 times (until everything seems
- to work), the machine will run flawlessly until I shut if off.
-
- I've tried everything I possibly could to track it down. I've pulled
- out all the removable memory, ran memory tests and swapped the 8250's
- with each other. I've double checked that I haven't added any new
- software to the startup-sequence and virus checked multiple times.
- I've even sacrificed a floppy or two over the keyboard. I cannot seem
- to find anything wrong.
-
- Does anyone have any clues? It seems a waste to try to repair it
- since the cost of a new A2000 mother board is nearly the price of an
- A1200 and I would kill to have an AGA machine. Please email any
- guesses, thanks!
