CT60 Crashes at Random
Posted by: Sascha Oct,18.2005-22:16 

Hi CT60 users,

I´m completely at a loss. My CT60 Falcon crashes at random, and I can´t find out what causes them. Here are the symptoms:

- rarely a black screen after pressing the power button,

- sometimes crashes while booting, stops anywhere at boot sequence, with and without error messages (e.g. "Access Fault"),

- crashes at random after booting (e.g. frozen desktop)

in CT60 mode with and without boosted motherboard (in 030 mode, I´ve never got any stability issues). Often I´ve got
several days or weeks no problems at all.

Rodolphe installed the CT60 (second batch) and boosted and modified (clock problem) the motherboard last year. Due to the stability issues I sent him my CT60 board + SDRAM some weeks ago. He said they were okay. The last option for me seemed to be a bad PSU. Therefore I tried the third PSU (a 300-watt PSU for 29 euros from HEC: HEC-300AR-PTF) yesterday but again without success: still the same problems. By the way, I use the latest firmware.

My questions are:

a) What are the symptoms for a bad PSU? I need a quick answer because I can only exchange the PSU by Friday.

b) Does anyone know the mentioned problem and has any tip for me? Any comments are wellcome!

Kind regards and thanks in advance,

Sascha

P.S.: I´ve got definitely no thermal issues.
