As my last post indicated, I'm having some issues with my Gauntlet (again)!
Has anyone noticed that these newer machines with supposedly updated/improved hardware seem to screw up more than the 30+ year old machines?
Anyway, lately my machine will randomly reset in the middle of a game. Sometimes it will stutter beforehand (pause for a few seconds, then continue) then eventually restart. Other times when I end a level and the next one loads it will lock up and restart. Sounds almost like a drive issue, but I had another board set awhile back in a different cab that did the random restart thing as well, and while I never officially diagnosed that issue, I DID try a new drive and it did not fix it. So can anyone think of other reasons why this would occur, and a possible fix?
