I have a very clean Crystal Castles board that seems to have 3 problems.

1 - It does randomly reset

2 - the game can be played but the Bear and the enemies do not show up solid - but rather as horizontal parallel lines. Again - you can move the cluster of lines to play the game - but the characters are not generated as a bear shape etc.

3 - there is no sound. Does anyone know where the sound chips are? Are they generic or are they custom chips?
 
Pull the pokeys and see if it still resets. If there's no sound, there's a chance they're shot anyway (more likely the lm324 though), and since they sit on the unbuffered cpu bus, they can hose the cpu at any time.

CC uses interleaved line ram for the sprites... could just be a mux problem.

Pokeys are custom, but readily available.
